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.

Our school is probably one of the worst schools in Perry County. Our school has run out of lunch in the cafeteria, has had multiple bomb/shooting threats in the past year, and the academics in general are not good.

I would like there to be more recognition for student athletes at Susquenita. Most athletes get little to no recognition from colleges and coaches could do better to help with that.

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...
