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 overall experience at Elgin ISD comes in many shapes and sizes. Most would say they feel that our school is unsteady. The school itself is seen as the underdogs because we lack what most 5A schools have. Being apart of Elgin ISD has shown me that we shouldn't be ashamed of where we come from and that the experience matters. The school did not define us, but we as students make the experience, and that we could be proud of where we came from.

The best part about Elgin High School are the friends you make. They have a great staff, but the freshmen and the students who vape are the worst.

I would say I enjoy it a good amount because it is a good community here and there. I'm mostly at ACC but from when I come to the High School its not bad, and the teachers I have are really nice and good at their job. I would say the best part bout my experience here would be the good friends I've made here and the good teachers I have. As for the worst thing at this school I would say is that it doesn't feel very safe some of the time. I would like to see the school grow and be built on to more which is being done right now.

After coming from a great public school district, I went to this school and only lasted one day. Thank goodness I am home schooled now because I think if I went to this school I would only get dumber. From my observations, bullying was a huge issue, kids were sleeping in the back of classrooms, teac...

I was proud to have my children attend the schools in Elgin. You can't complain about the schools if you as a parent, or you child/children are not INVOLVED! Get INVOLVED in after school activities, take advantage of what the schools here have to offer and you'll be shocked at how wonderful they are...
