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.

4.0 Junior

Overall my teachers were amazing, the only complaint I'd have is with the food served. The best part of my high school is probably the greenhouse, I can't refuse to care for a beautiful plant. I would like for there to be more racial and LGBTQ+ tolerance in my school, but with the law that was just passed we can't really do anything about LGBTQ+ bullying sadly. I plan on leaving this school and perhaps the Kentucky board with a way to help LGBTQ+ youth.

It was fun. Freshman year was great. The only complaints i have is about a teacher not doing there job, in my opinion. The weightlifting course and the ag course that i took was one of the more fun things i done while there.
