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 am getting ready to start my first year in college and feel prepared academically and socially to make this transition. I feel that Creston High School did a great job preparing me.

Classes worked very well for me, but everyday I felt a different type of pressure and I would like to see the environment that students are working in. Everyday is the same in High School everyone wants it to be a place that they don't dread everyday.

In my 4 years of going there, I had witnessed MANY of the teachers fall asleep in the middle of class, but my all time favorite teachers are the art and band ones, because they were always excited and pepped me and other students up to be excited for class.

I was superintendent of schools in creston for two years 1976-78. I accepted a buyout to leave the district because the high school principal was inept and I was not able to get him terminated. Evidendly he has retired and good instruction is now in place. Bob Lowe Ph.D.
