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.

Football is mainly funded in this small school system. Everything else is basically looked over and not cared much about. There are not many resources available but everyone pretty much gets along together.

Solid school. Everyone pretty much gets along. The Football Program is the only thing that is primarily funded while everything else is not cared about much.

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...
