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.

Elkin High School is a very small, but welcoming school. The faculty and environment are very friendly. It's easy to make friends with other students and teachers. Everybody is close to one another, but some may see this school as a bit strict.

Advantages of a small school (safety, teachers and administrators know the students), as well as the advantages of a city school district (as opposed to being part of county district) (has its own school board and superintendant)
