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.

As much as I complain about this school, I couldn't imagine going anywhere else. While most of our experiences have been ruined by circumstances out of our control. There are no regrets.

The experience so far at the school is okay. it's an average high school, you learn then you graduate. It's not a bad school, but an okay one.

Unprofessional and immature teaching staff. VERY FEW EXCEPTIONS at this high school. Pass kids on to higher levels and out the door that still can't spell or write. In two years there were atleast 12 kids that had dropped out without encouragement to stay.

This is a great town to live in and the schools are renovated or on the newer side. The superintendent is great and has been around a long time. The staff care about the students.

I would rate this school worse. Just last year there was a heroine overdose in the high school. They discovered a ring of students who were injecting heroine. Public didn't hear that though.
