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.

CHS is a good school and gave me the foundation I need to succeed. I enjoyed all the classes and the extracurricular opportunities like SkillsUSA, debate, and sports.

It definitely builds a sense of community, however it mostly benefits the privileged majority rather than preparing every individual for a secure future.

Cedartown High School has changed me in so many ways. The school and teachers have watched me become smarter and also seen me struggle. I lost my best fiend half way through our sophomore year. I fell behind in classes and had no motivation to do anything. My teachers understood but knew what I could do and refused to let me fail. They encouraged me to graduate after senior year although I was struggling depression. They stood by me and understood me. Now I am a graduate and know my best friend is proud.

As far as small town high schools go...
