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.

I have loved my school and my high school experience in it. The students and the people involved in my journey have really been the ones that have made this high-school so fun.

Cosby high school had an overall good atmosphere . It was your typical highschool. I enjoyed the clubs that I decided to partake in and the activities that were available to me and to other students. Administration was typically very helpful and attentive to student needs and problems.

I am a Cosby High School alumni and I will say that the education I received at CHS was not a quality education. Upon graduating from CHS, I began classes at a community college that fall, and I feel that I was not prepared academically or mentally. The school is too focused on sports and not enough...
