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.

Good school. I enjoyed playing football here for the past 4 years. Student teacher ratio is good also. Great teacher support. Great facility. It's in the country so could use better internet service for the students.

Sipsey Valley High schools has recently started offering additional resources regarding the ACT. For example math teachers will give ACT practice tests for the math portion of the ACT test and allow students to go back after the test to make corrections and take notes. The school has plans to set a ACT prep class for students to take. However I will not be able to participate in this program because I will be graduating this year.
