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 really enjoy being in this school because I have learned to be more open and diverse. I have gotten to meet many different people from different backgrounds and I really enjoy it because I get to learn more about my community. There are many different things you can get involved with that will help you create bonds and not only that you can create bonds with the staff here at Cedar. The staff here always try their best to get us far in life and to make sure we succeed. The only bad part would be the small amount of students who don't care for their peers around them or their safety besides that this school is a really good one.

I go to Cedar Shoals and it really does depend where you hang around in this school. The fine arts building is the best and most positive place at this school.
