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 overall enjoyed my time at Cecilia High School. I've went to school in the area all my life so I have grown with a lot of other students. The staff here are pretty good and the sports teams are nice for a small town.

Personally, Cecilia High School isn't a bad School. It's just badly funded. If you look pass the lack of funding it's a really cool school.

Cecilia High School is like many other schools, it's a school that focuses on academics and on how their school is rated. Although for the most part we have great teachers, I wish they had more freedom in what they teach and how they teach it. I also hope that the school focuses on mental health more in the future, and uses better ways to motivate their students.

CHS hasn't hanged much over the years. There are more important things than football and cheerleading. CHS does NOT prepare your child for college or life out of the "bubble". Too many girls get pregnant and go on WIC and welfare. This lifestyle repeats generation after generation. ROTC training wou...
