GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

As much as this school restricts I still have a fun time. We have some very fun traditions like homecoming week: battle of the classes. We also have a good time while at school. Teachers are very likable. Nothing is very challenging at this school so if you want a easier school thats taken kind of seriously this is the place to be. I would definitely choose to go to a different school if I had the choice. I would pick a school more variety of students and more challenging class options.

Participation in school athletics is very much encouraged and well-supported throughout the community. Student and community attendance at home and away games is very high. A few years ago our basketball team got 2nd place in our division at state, and when the team returned the fire trucks and cop cars all sounded the sirens to announce their arrival and congratulate them all.
