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.

The community that Susquenita is surrounded by is the ultimate example of a small town. The viewpoints of the town, and in return the school, are very conservative. With this in mind, the main issue I have with Susquenita is its lack of diversity. Most of the kids were born and raised within the community as well as their parents and grandparents, which gives a nice sense of community, but can bring up a lot of issues about people knowing too much about everyone else.

Susquenita is a very small community school. The majority of students come from a background of agriculture. While Susquenita does offer numerous AP courses, the academia is lacking. The academic structure of Susquenita is slowly decreasing in its rigor, and students who excel are not provided many opportunities and are instead held back to the level of other students.

I was involved in a select choir called the West Side Singers and I always felt supported. Our theater program also was a positive experience because there was competition and fun at the same time.

Worst school ever for special needs families! Bullying is outrageous. This school is more concerned about their technology gadgets than the students who actually use them. Horrible for accessibility. Also more concerned about test scores than preparing for future careers and real world living. Sport...

Susquenita was a great school to go to. I was not the best student, I was not a 'favorite' student, but I at least got a solid education from them... Of course there is room to grow, but every school has things that needs to be improved on. Bullying was a bit of an issue when I was in highschool the...

Susquenita school district provided a solid education for both of my children. They both took advantage of Advanced Placement courses during High school and as a result, they were well prepared for college. I do not have direct knowledge of the special education department, so I didn't answer that q...

If you don't conform here, or aren't popular, you won't succeed. The place is riddled with favoritism and nepotism. The school does absolutely nothing about bullying on or off-campus, and if the principal doesn't like you, he won't even acknowledge your problems. Don't get me wrong, a lot of the tea...
