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.

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.

The teachers don't really care at our school. Dont get me wrong some of them are the most amazing teachers that you ccan come across, But most of them are very disappointing. It's like they teach us as much as they get paid. They dont get paid great at all. Most of them just don't really care what you know they just want to get you out of there so they dont have to deal with you anymore.

As a team we work well together and cooperate. We lack in fitness equipment, but strive in school spirit for the most part.

I currently go to this school and it's a great school..obviously every school has there flaws and everything but i wouldn't trade it to go to a different school.it's small, so it's easier learning with teachers.most of the teachers are pretty great.everyone knows everyone and its just a great place...
