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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

Not as much offered outside the core classes. Some of the same teachers teach different classes grades. Scheduling is very easy and class room size is small. Sometimes only 7-8 students at a time. Workload depends on activities as special circumstances are given to those involved in sports or in the drama programs due to the amount of time outside of school is dedicated to it. Only one foreign language was offered. We did have the option of taking college courses through our Career Acadamy. These were limited as well. Nursing and welding. But there were some social science and english classes offered with approval of counslor.

We are able to take college classes which is great. Our school is older, but in good condition. Our technology is great. All of the students received new computers to use for the school year.

Our principal is very involved with our school and the students. She knows what's going on with most all of the students. Our guidance counselor is very helpful in planning each of our schedules out and makes time to meet with everyone.
