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.

My experience here has been amazing so far even though its my first year here. When I first transfered from Sherman High School, I thought I would have trouble making friends and have trouble learning. Since the first day of school I have made a group of friends. I have made those friends through sports and classes. The teachers don't care to help if you are struggling. The teachers are one of the best things. The worst part about it all is just trying to do my best in sports but I have a lot of fun. I play volleyball and I do cheer. I try my best in these sports. It is my first year playing volleyball so I dont know a lot. But with the season almost over I can say I've learned a lot from my coaches. My cheer coach is the absolute best. The volleyball games have taught me teamwork and so has cheer. I have learned so much in my classes. It really is the best school. So many learning experiences.

The best part about school was the teachers. The teachers were so nice and caring. The treated you like a person and not just someone who showed up. The worst was not having enough certified teachers. If we had more, we could have more classes.

This school is the best to go to if you like a close community. They are always ready to help the students, and you will make lifelong friends along the way. The teachers are kind, and they never put a kid down. They always push us to do our best in life and to go on to college. I will forever be grateful for this school and its community.
