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.

We have security cameras, bullying is at a minimum everyone gets along pretty well we don't have a school nurse but the office workers do have papers on what kids need medication and have the authorization to give the medication. My school has never had a problem of putting kids' lives into any danger that I know of.

At my school we have never had any threats or gun shootings. My school is in a very safe community and always make sure the students feel safe. Bullying has never been an issue at my school either. I go to a very small school so everyone is friends with everyone and you learn to all get along. I would defiantely recommend my school to be one of the safest schools in the state of Nebraska.
