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 have enjoyed high school at South Adams overall. The small community is very nice but has a few minor issues. The teachers are very engaging and it is a very small school meaning everyone knows everyone. Teachers and administration do a great job at helping individual students do their best in school and plan for the future.

My experience with South Adams High School was mostly pleasant. The teachers were good, and most students were nice. One thing I'd like to see change would be some of the outlandish school policies.

School lunch is insufficient and lines are long. Bullying is rampant and teacher and staff do little to stop it. A "bully report" is in place but they do nothing in the grand scheme of things. The only few redeeming things are underfunded and sports like football are overfunded.
