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.

Its a small school combined with 2 other school, the best parts is that when we get to the 11th grade we get to go onto the college campus and take college classes while still in highshcool. I understand that this benifits us but sometimes I feel that we are growing up to fast and we dont experience what regular highschool studnets go through. i also wished there were more sports especially for girls, im a good athlete but my parents cant pay for clubs,coaches,etctec and it would be nice to get a scholarship for that. But the school takes boys sports more seriously then girls so I feel like that completely obliterated my chances in getting a scholarship for volleyball or flag football.

The school is good. The staff is very supportive and pushes the student to do their best. However, I would recommend you go there if you are motivated and plan on following through the whole process.
