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 is nice, teachers are good but the only problem I could tell is that we don't have coaches for the different sports, they are usually teachers and not coaches

Overall the teachers do not know how to teach the material. The teachers do not take into consideration situations such as bullying and vaping. The school is like a place where you can wonder around. Security is not reinforced for the safety of the staff and students.

I went to the middle school and am now at the high school and it's not what I expected. It has a lot to offer in certain ways but the students can be over bearing. The work can over pile depending on the teachers you have, but the staff is always willing to help. There is many events and different things going in the town as a whole. Pretty decent vibes all around.

Look how bad the kids do grade wise and most teachers just...
