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.

What I really like about my school is that everyone knows everyone. Some people think that going to a small school isn't very fun, but I like the fact that I know almost every person's name. Another thing I like is that everyone gets along. We don't have any big bullying problems and everyone is genuinely nice to everyone else. I also really love my teachers. They all put in a lot of effort and I really feel like I'm learning something.

The teachers here are amazing!! They go out of their way to help you however they see fit. I was blessed to have 2 teachers volunteer to write my letters of recommendation for colleges. The amount of support is incredible. It's nice to have them sincerely behind you...and not out to get rid of you. It was great because there was a great sense of openess between kids and students. Whether it was school related or not they were always ready to listen or help as needed.
