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 had a great experience at Bigfork high school so far. I have been going to Bigfork schools since I was in kindergarten, so I haven't been able to experience much. I might be bias, but I love the small town atmosphere and how close-knit I have been with everyone involved in the community.

It was good in some aspects but it lacked in the support for college education. There was not really an assitance that was useful.

It’s absolutely disgusting, if I could I’d give it zero stars. Do not take your chi...
