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.

My overall experience with Starmount High School has been pretty good. I have gotten many experiences through the school that I probably wouldn't have gotten through anything else. For that reason I am grateful for my time at Starmount. The only struggle I would say I have had with Starmount is with my health. I was recently diagnosed with a type of severe asthma and it has been difficult for some of the administration to understand how bad my asthma can be. Academic wise I have excelled in a way that I have gained much support from my teachers and that is another great thing about Starmount High School.

I think starmount is like any other small town high school. You have the group of people who have mullets and probably shouldn't say some certain words. You have the bad bunch that do idiotic things like clog the toilets and vape. You have the students that are focused on sports and on their studies but you also have the close knit feel of being surrounded by people you know and have always know. Starmount is like any other high school, but we have some things that make us stand out. We have an amazing wrestling team, we have a passion about doing our best and doing it "the starmount way".

I would like to see the student-athletes engage in more than just their sports and the teachers actually enforce them to learn and make it fun for them.

I think Starmount High is a great school. The teachers and faculty really care about the students. Since my daughter has been going there the classes have helped her build confidence in herself.

...this school needs get their priorities together! The counselor for the seniors almost refuses to help with any questions they have for college. She discourages them instead of helping them. The new principal spends more time trying to take things away from the students and make the teachers miser...
