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 think there could be a better quality of teachers. Some teacher were great but many weren't. School also heavy caters to sports. Need to offer more for the arts.

The community the school is associated with is very good and the learning environment is also good. They strive to be academically excellent while still caring about the wellbeing of the student. Overall, I had a positive experience at this school.

I had a wonderful experience while attending Elk Rapids TK-12th grade. They supplied me with the knowledge that helped lead me to college and I made friendships with so many people that will last a lifetime. I was able to do online school through Elk Rapids my junior and senior year while I traveled the country. Everyone there was so supportive of this big decision and I knew I always had a home to go back to.

They are still going to her bully between classes and at lunch etc....
