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.

best school in the northeast Kansas area. Students are 50/50 either some are very smart, and really care about their future. Some don't care at all! But overall, really really good staff and questionable food

It has great administration and teachers but the students there don't really take things serious and don't act their age and don't want to be involved with school spirit and sports.

There is a severe lack of funding, which (please donate) degrades the school and makes it below average. There is a lack of student care, but overall, the teachers are good, minus a few. The school is decent, but it can't be at its full potential due to low funding.
