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.

It is a great school and has helped me improve over the last 17 years and I feel like the teachers here are more willing to help you pass and not just wanting you to leave high school like a lot of kids think and they really have prepared me for my next year of college at the South Eastern Community College in West Burlington Iowa.

I liked how it was a smaller school, so I believed there was better learning opportunity. One thing I have noticed is that the school has gotten more strict the past couple of years.
