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.

I have always felt safe in Candor. Although we do not have any type of school security, there are no real threats to our school.

Few teachers are difficult to learn from or difficult to get along with. A few are hard on students, but mostly all the teachers are very understanding. The teachers give us chances to make up for bad behavior or bad quality of work. They are mostly very easy to approach. They are also very friendly and helpful.

We have a good selection of athletic opportunities at Candor High School. Most everyone in our school has at least tried a sport during their high school careers. Several of our teams go on to sectionals and even to states in a few cases. We have a sufficient number of coaches for each team. Parents are always very involved when it comes to Candor's athletics and show their support by helping to fund events, going to games and cheering us on from the sidelines.

Candor's focus is on sports over education. They are very proud of their athletic record, but little emphasi...
