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.

I highly enjoy this school and as a new kid I felt as if I fit in well and this school is full of great people and teachers are more then happy to help if I fail to understand something

Most students are involved in either FFA, FCCLA, or FBLA, because that's the majority of the clubs. Either students aren't motivated enough to create their own clubs, or they cannot find a sponsor because the teachers are already a club leader or coach, or just because they don't want to be responsible for the club.

Everyone was pretty accepting. Most of us grew up together from kindergarten to senior year.
