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.

Edwards County High School is a very small school that has its upsides and downsides. Being connected with my peers is very important to me, and here I have the opportunity to be connected with one another.

Did not prepare me for college at all. I don't even have enough classes taken to get into the college I want. Doesn't even offer enough social science classes to get into this college. Small school means family-like setting, if you're 'popular'. If you don't fit in, you'll never find friends. There's not enough students to be able to even have an outcast group. You either fit in or you don't. There's no being 'unpopular' and still having friends. School has very few clubs and if you're not into sports or music, no one cares about you. The school thinks there's no bullying but it's all online or very heavily covered up or just passive/aggressive behavior. Gossip is horrible and everyone knows you from the day you were born unless you moved into town. If you were a 'weird kid', you will always be a weird kid. I begged my mom to move because I hated this school. It will give you roots, but will not prepare you for anything besides factory or computer work. Also very few sports offered.
