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.

i think this school has so much potential. although they have people the don't care about the students in very high up positions. i have been here for a decent period of time and i believe that every year since it's gone more and more downhill. I believe that the office staff need a lot of work. they are good people but not good at their jobs. and when you need them they are never available. the schedule needs work too. way too many teachers have prep at the same time resulting in overly big classes for one hour of the day. there is definitely a ton of work that needs to be done with the administrators. i know that last year was hard on the teachers so i am trying to cut some slack but it's very hard to when the work being put in is very mediocre. the teachers that have been here for the longest are barely teaching us at this point, and the seniors are all struggling. i loved this school but it really needs work. please take the time to be there for the students, they really need it.

I love that it's a small school and the staff truest care about the students. It's also a unique experience, because your near the cities yet you get to learn about agriculture. Also it's such a tight knit community, as a school we are a family.

I enjoyed the agricultural underlining focus, and involvement with the FFA. The smaller school atmosphere was also very nice as well.

Administration and teachers were very poor. They are not honest.

One thing I learned is actions speak louder than words. The actions by the administration at this school creates an atmosphere of fear, favoritism and lack of readiness for post high school life.

This school was great at first but after a month or so it is just terrible.
