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.

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.

Great experience overall. Above average college readiness practices, good after school activities, fun clubs. My biggest complaint would be the food they serve.

Cranberry is a small school in the rural Pennsylvania area. The people, for the most part, are quite friendly and the guidance workers, specifically the senior high counselor and his secretary, are extremely helpful when one is applying to colleges. Cranberry cares about students and takes time to do their best to meet the needs of the students with 3 different levels of courses.

Is a decent place to go. Pretty average. Food is good, teachers are hit and miss, campus in very open and easy to navigate, area is very safe. I feel mostl prepared for college, but it's lack of diversity in the programs they offer is a bit harmful to college applications and competition for schools.

The teaching staff is good, but the student body is one of the least mature I have ever seen. They can be very intolerant, probably mostly cause it is a small town and they are not as exposed to differences as some schools. I got along with most teachers, and they were generally found to be very hel...
