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 school has very poor budgeting skills from the board of education. They spent around $1 million on fixing buses that have been around for 20+ years instead of buying new buses. The person they asked to fix the buses inflated the prices and they never realized that they were overpaying for everything, which in turn led to the high school have leaking ceilings that never get truly fixed, poor heating and barely any air-condition.

I liked the diversity among students and the overall smaller class sizes. Some of the teachers here are also really caring and want you to succeed. The Ninde office is a great resource for college readiness and is open to everyone, even if they're not a Ninde Scholar. I wish the school could have been cleaner and also some of the students can be toxic.

I had a great high school experience here. While I was attending the teachers and staff were attentive, and had a passion for what they were doing. It is a small high school, so the class sizes aren't huge which allows you to get involved as a student. I graduated with under 100 students in my class...

The school is too small to have so many discipline problems with their students. The students do not respect the principle nor most of the staff. There are about 3 very respected teachers that the students aim to please, but that's not enough! Students roam the halls without staff knowing it caring....
