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 teachers really care about the students! Everyone makes everyone else feel safe and cared for. One thing that could improve would be getting seniors ready for college.

My experience at Cardinal High School was great. Teachers at Cardinal are always willing to help you with assignments you have questions about and they always devoted their time to the students as well. I had a great experience at Cardinal!

The school isn't outstanding in too many areas but it is starting to go in that direction with the new administration.
