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.

My time at Modoc High School was very interesting. Having attended thirteen years of school with the same forty peers allowed students to bond, but also hold grudges and treat each other with extreme hostility. I am 'liberally minded', for lack of a better term, and often felt that my opinions were disregarded and disrespected by fellow classmates and sometimes teachers.

I like how Modoc High school teachers actually care about you and go out of there way to help you. But when it comes to sports, the administration only favors specific sports like football and baseball and don't give enough recognition to smaller sports like cross country and soccer. But it's an overall safe school.

Modoc High School is for the most part an adequate school. There is nothing overwhelmingly negative about it. It has a decent variety of extracurricular activities in the form of sports and clubs. The majority of the teachers are focusing on making sure that you learn what you need to learn and provide more than enough help both in and out of class. In addition there are a few AP classes offered as well and a nearby college offers video conference classes that can help students earn additional credits.

10/10 would go again so long as I had to! This spreadsheet is great, but it does not talk about how all of these teachers come together to genuinely care about all of the kids well being inside and outside of the school, it does not talk about the elective courses taught by the big dog himself Rodne...
