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.

The school facilities are rather out dated but the staff are all very qualified and help the students learn by assessing everyone's individual needs. My experience was amazing but I do wish that the facilities could be updated. Being a small community with a low budget has made this impossible thus far but there's hope for the future and the school has found a way to adapt for many many years.

Buildings are old and there is never any money in our general account to fix anything. Not enough college prep resources for my ACT prep class either.

Our school has too many ways for intruders to be able to enter the buildings.
