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.

Smaller school with great teachers who care. Extracurriculars are very fun and involving. Homecoming week is very fun and includes games night, the basketball game, and spirit week. Teachers will give you one on one and make sure you understand the topics.
