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 Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

I have studied with this school my entire life. Now that I am a senior and I'm leaving soon I can say I will miss this school. It has meant a lot to me over the years. Earlham is a great school and it's teachers are so amazing. I have learned so much from my years here.

I believe that Earlham High School has a great hometown feel to it. All of your teachers know you name and work to create a professional relationship with every student they teach. The students, as well as the staff, create a great learning atmosphere where students are pushed to reach their highest potentials. If I had to change anything about my school, I believe that we could change the way we do standards-based grading.
