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.

The school was small so the opportunity to learn one on one with the teacher was great. The faculty was very helpful for your career pursuits.

I must brag that our school nurse AND 2 coaches have initiated and participated in 2 separate incidences of CPR and implementation of AED use with (thank God) full resuscitation of the students. I'm a registered nurse and was so proud of their responses. Also we had a wonderful counseling team as well as community ministerial volunteer services on several occasions when catastrophic events occurred such as multiple fatality wrecks of 6 well known students and parents as well as other sudden deaths of our students and teachers. Our local police officers are very frequently present on campus as mentors and friendly presence.
