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.

There were usually a lot of fights and threats going around at the school, but I haven't heard of many this year. There isn't much to do at the school because some of the planned activities get cancelled at the last minute. I would say that most of the teachers want to see the students improve and set expectations for their students to meet. The school isn't that bad after you get used to it, and I made a lot of friends during my time at the school.

I loved attending school here. I found teachers I could trust and that helped me make decisions about my future that were best for me. I know that I can always count on the teachers here for anything. I wish I had more educational opportunities, but living in a small town will do that to you.

What I loved about this school was the support that students get from one another and from its teachers, facility, and staff members. What I would love to see change a this school is how students are punished for the actions of one or more individuals.
