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.

Overall just an average school. Biggest problem is that how much you learn can really depend on who is teaching. Some classes are great while others can use a lot of work.

The thing I enjoyed most about my high school experience was my friends. I would have never made it through high school without the support from my friends. There were many things that our school could have improved on. But I feel that I had an average high school experience but sometimes it felt as if our school could have worked on expanding the list of classes and pathways to choose from. It seemed that there were only two pathways to choose either be a farmer or a teacher and I've always wanted more. Overall my school held a good place for me and my peers to grow and change for the better
