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 a senior at Sequatchie County High School and overall, my high school experience has been very enjoyable. There has been many stressful times over the years, but I will be sad to go.

Great school for small town. We don't have the funds nor the opportunities the larger schools have, but our community is very supportive of the school system and they are very generous with fundraisers and making sure our schools are well-maintained. Teachers are amazing and the administration is supportive.
