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.

I love Erwin High School because this school has helped me in ways I never thought possible. The cheer program helped me to be a better athlete, and the counselors helped me through the hardest times of my life. I will always cherish my time here and the friends I've made.
