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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

I liked the traditions like Ag Day that were specific to the school. Ag day was basically where the students in the Future Farmers of America would bring in some of their farm animals and we would get to go outside during the day to see all of them. I also really enjoyed spirit week because we got to dress up and decorate the halls ways to correspond to the theme of the homecoming dance at the end of the week.
