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.

Cottage Grove high school has been a great experience. I love this school. Im a athlete and our athletics are amazing. The teachers here are amazing too. They make sure to make each and every student here feel safe and comftorable. The food at CGHS isnt the best but thats okay. We make up for it with our school culture and involvment in our community. At CGHS we have tons of events, at school or in our community. I havent really had a bad experience here, its a great school that values your opinion and values. Just a great school and im very proud and happy that I have been able to attend such a great school.

Cottage Grove High School is a place that I find to be quite unique. It is in a small rural community, so diversity is often stifled. But I have found a strong community of other queer students and students of color who all have the same drive to succeed as me. Without them, I likely wouldn't have the same desire to leave this town and see what the world has to offer. The teachers are also part of that support group, and I am very grateful them for their role in my adolescence. CGHS has taught me that no matter where you come from or how many resources you have, you can still accomplish great things.

Cottage Grove High School was a very good school for college readyness and academics. But the way the deal with grief and counselors is not good and needs to change. After I graduated they got a whole new administration so I know it will be difficult to fix their problems. They have amazing teachers and all the teachers care about the students. The arts could use more funding. All the money goes to football and basketball. Most minor sports don't even get much money. The funds need to be distributed more fairly.

They have a huge bullying problem, and because it's "online" they aren't doing anything about it. Cyberbullying is a crime. And so is not reporting or helping said students who are getting bullied. Do better.

As a parent of a student athlete I have found the school to be very welcoming to me and my son. My son was injured in a football game this fall and since that time the teachers and students have gone out of their way to help him. Their is an elevator for students who cannot take the stairs and that...

My child was so excited about starting high school and continuing on with sports, but fell ill towards the beginning of the school year and was pulled out by her Doctors. She was diagnosed with a chronic illness, but was starting to feel better. She needed extra help ask her way of learning and thin...
