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 enrolled at Battery Creek High School my Sophomore year of high school. Being a newcomer to the state and area, I felt off being in the area but faculty and students almost immediately made me feel welcome. I have Creek to thank for bringing me back to my roots of theatre. Even in my core classes I felt at ease and teachers made it easy for me to understand things.
