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 feels like a jail setting . Can't pickup your child . The children go outside very minimal in a rural area . And a heck of a lot of staff for -200 kids . And staff is growing and getting more expensive.

There were a lot of things in high school that we learned that are not relevant to the real world. I felt prepared in only a few areas of my life.

There is no diversity here you can count the number of ethnic students on one hand. This isn't the schools fault per say but rather the location. Its a small town in the middle of nowhere. People are pretty accepting though
