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.

In sycamore high school there are so many classes and courses to support your future and the teachers are very understanding and flexible. A thing that they are currently working on that I won't get to experience is pushing the school start times to eight instead of the current seven AM.

Our high school just recently got renovated which we really love and is way nicer than it used to be. Although we don't have the best football team many people still show up for the spirit of big green. I genuinely love my school and hope my kids someday go to a school like sycamore.

I have had three students attend the Sycamore k-12. It offers a vast variety of opportunities for students with varying interests and needs. The support services are outstanding. And yes, they strive to get the best out of your child.

As a parent of a student I find the school to be a pressure cooker. Easily half my kids friends have been hospitalized for mental health break downs. These kids are under way too much pressure. The ones that survive go to great colleges but it destroys too many young people to get there.
