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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

Big Sandy High School is a great school to learn in! UIL is a great strength in this school, as a good amount of the people that participate in this make it to Regionals.

If I could give this school 0 stars, I would. First I'd like to say that most of those 5 star reviews are fake. All posted on the same date and the same gibberish. The school's not great, the food's not great. Bullying happens quite a lot and nothing is ever done about it even if the staff are told multiple times. The dress code promotes rape culture, and sexual assault happens there and nothing is done about it. If you're not a teachers kid?? Forget about acing all your classes. They have a certain "privilege" there, if you know what I mean. Overall, graduating from there was a weight off my back. Even if you paid me a million, I would not go back and do another 4 years there. Sorry

They do not like to confront and solve problems if it involves one of the star athletes. The bullying is not taken serious and children that go to the counselor are told that th...
Big Sandy has great teachers they are really nice and help alot in different subjects. I loved that school really much and I want to go back to it because they are really hard working. Also they have a great athletic team.
