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, I would have to say I have one of the best guidance counselors around. She is very helpful with getting us into the right classes and doing what is best for our educations.

Since I am from a small school, we only are allowed volleyball, basketball, and track for sports. We are involved in Skills USA, CAN, National Honor Society, and Quiz Bowl.
