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.

Elk Rapids gets you college ready with certain classes. Offers a different amount of Ap classes. Diversity is very low. Bathroom could use work as well as the drinking fountain.

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 really enjoyed the culture at Elk Rapids because it's a small town that has everybody really connected. The teachers know the students personally so it is very easy for them to connect and understand to each and every one of the students. The school always feels safe and it was the small town feel to it, as if every one of us is connected just based on the location that we have grown up in. The small community makes Elk Rapids a great school to be a part of.

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

We moved to the area about 5 years ago from downstate. I can only tell you that I am thrilled with Elk Rapids Schools.
