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 gone to Big Sandy for 13 years of education this school is in a very poor district and it has always been if you have money you can buy your way through everything. I have also personally dealt with a lot of bullying . Te teachers quite often are not the best at teaching the subject they teach and i quite often feel as if it causes my education to lack or fall behind. Big Sandy does have a few great teachers who go above and beyond for their students to make sure they understand and pass.
