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.

We are a very small district yet year after year we turn out some of the smartest kids and are still able to get the class sizes small so the kids get more 1 to 1 interaction...kids thrive with little or no extras as the budgets keep getting cut yet our kids still manage to beat the odds.
