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.

Football games are about the only part of high school I have enjoyed. The teachers and administrators are overall good and want to see their students succeed, but the students are not relatively friendly and aren't there to learn. A positive change would be more student involvement, students always complain about not having any fun school related activities but when they offer to have any sort of activity no one seems to be interested or even try to attend.

The school is mostly white Christians. I think out of the entire 500 kids in our school only 6 were African American. There was like one Asian kid. At that school, if you're not a Christian, you are probably an atheist trying to be a rebel. Most kids are straight. If you weren't then every one knew you weren't, because you were different. That being said, there was maybe 4 gay kids. This school is your basic southern public school.
