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.

With a strong interest in agriculture amd leadership, this school supported that through classroom instruction and extracurricular activities. I was able to be highly involved in FFA and agricultural education while still thriving in other academic areas.

Southwestern is a very small school. The environment is very inclusive and it is hard to fit in after moving in at a later time. There is little to no diversity within the school, but the academics are decent. I would say that the rigor prepares students for college. The sports are run like politics, but the overall programs are decent. There are many extracurriculars as well for students uninterested in sports.

Athletic program is highly successful for such a small school system -...
