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.

I wish that students would have more of a say in how things are done. We have a student council but we really don't do much. They need more input from students.

It's a nice small school where nearly everybody knows everybody else. Students get pretty involved in school games.

I liked that we had sports. I want the teaching to be better, the administration to be better and the coaches to be better.

They don't care if you get frostbite or an pneumonia, or whatever the case may be. They just don't care about the students. They...
