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 best part was that I got to be with some of my friends and got to have great teachers that I shared a very good relationship with and they even wrote me recommendation letters for Frontier Community college. An awesome experience with no problems at all.

My kids love it here, i am so glad i brought them here. i was worried at first because many people were saying it wasn't the best place but i guess my wife was right, don't assume things just because of what people say.

Honestly this school gets dumped on for no reason, although it looks bad and the reviews aren't high this school has improved so much and the people here are so kind.
