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.

Cobden High School had great educational classes. The teachers help you if you are not understanding the lesson. The Activities are very fun and create teamwork among all students. My favorite classes were Math, English and Art. The school has a bully free zone. They keep the school clean and safe for the students. The school is small and I would of loved to have had more options to involve myself in more sports or activities.

Teachers aren't the best, but the superintendent is great and he really cares. There's been a lot of dumb rules enacted recently, but overall it's not the worst. Not nearly as bad as AJ at least. Some teachers make up for the bad ones with how good they are, and were one of the only schools around with an Esports team and AP Computer Science. Food is bad but overall not the worst school around. 3/5 would recommend

I enjoy going to school here. The environment is caring and a good learning community. I think that the teachers care out us as individuals and also about our education. They school makes sure we are ready to move on into the real world after graduation.

If you want to grow up and work on a farm or at some retail mcjob, this school will be fine. I had several friends whose parents decided to homeschool, move or sen...
