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.

Blue Earth Area High School hosts grades 8-12 and I have been a part of this school's community since 8th grade. The teaching here seems to be a bit slower of pace than at my previous school. Our teachers here are sweet to us students however students themselves cause problems around the school and create outbursts
