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've been a student at Renfroe since the 6th grade I'm currently in the 8th grade the school is apparently ranked highly for whatever reason that I don't agree with but if I were you I would not go to the school their are rude teachers that treat most kids unfairly. The food has its moments. We once had the AC stop working the school did not alert our parents and tried to keep it under wraps telling students not to call their parents the AC was not fixed until the next day... It was as hot as Satan's butt crack in their and everyone had to move on as regular procedure.

I love that the kids get daily foreign language classes, and the specials classes are engaging and stimulating. T...

This entire district is imploding on itself due to intense pressure from the community to enable students' self-destructive, out of control behavior. None of the parents want any structure for their kids, so the kids all just run wild. Bullying, fighting, drug use, sex, violence towards teachers, th...
