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.

I thought it was bad when I was going there but from what I have heard from others is that it has only gotten worse.

It is actually a pretty fun place. I genuinely love my teachers and I always have a good time with them in their classes. I began to like subjects and classes that I never expected to even come close to. There are tons of dual enrolment and AP subject opportunities as well as a very helpful counselor that does their best to assist students individually with their ambitions after graduating.

I really like the school. The teachers and staff are so friendly and helpful and since it's a small school everyone knows everyone and we're almost like a family to each other. However, it would be nice if the school had a little more resource or funding for more clubs and sports and also have a cafeteria, but all in all it's a good school.

As a parent, I was able to attend a recent "coffee connection with admin". This was a great experience and I was able to talk with other parents and participate in a fun presentation. They thought of everything and had us do a STEM activity to immerse ourselves in what our kids experience every day....
