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.

Cedartown High was one for the books! The school was always on top of students and probably the safest school that I know. They always make us feel welcome and always informs us of everything that it going on. The teachers always were excellent! Academic work was well know at this school!

As far as small town high schools go...
