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.

Overall, it's a pretty good school. I just wish there were more things to do through the school other than sports. All of the funding seems to go to sports and nothing else.

It has its flaws and such, but I'd rather be here than anywhere else. This is where my family and friends are, and my favorite teachers are here preparing me for college so I can't leave the people who matter the most to me behind.

My overall experience with Starmount has been one of great success and memories. The atmosphere here is amazing and everyone feels at home. Being in a small town, everyone knows your name and treats you like you're important. Not only are the teachers and faculty welcoming during school, everyone feels included in extracurricular activities as well. There is a long history of school pride at Starmount and it is one of the things I will take with me when I leave.

...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...
