Love that it's a smaller school and helps it's students. Also, that it has accepted exchange students from American Field Service and other exchange programs. Their effort to help support the students from foreign countries helps to bridge the gap of diversity and promote cultural understanding and world peace.

The new principal is doing great things for the school,students and teachers. Mr. Ball came in taking care of business, which makes the students want to come to school and learn. They get very good rewards, if they follow all the rules and his aaa motto. So they feel like someone cares, and they do well. The 3 A's Academics, Attitude, Acheivements. Its a great school.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Tennessee used the Gateway/End-of-Course (EOC) exams to test high school students in language arts, math, science, and social studies upon completion of relevant courses. Students must pass the algebra I, English II, and biology I tests, called the Gateway exams, in order to graduate. This year, Tennessee introduced two new exams in algebra II and English III, and those results are included on the GreatSchools profile as well. The Gateway/EOC exams are standards-based tests that measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined by the state of Tennessee. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level.

The different student groups are identified by the Tennessee Department of Education. If there are a small number of students in a particular group, the state doesn't report data for that group.
