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.

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 would like to see more school spirit opportunities incorporated during school. I found that many of the students did not interact with other groups they normally did not.

Elkton High School is a good preparation for the real world, but not for college. You learn how to navigate certain situations you may face in the real world like working with a diverse group of people. However, the academics are lenient and you have to try to fail, not try to pass. The school is too forgiving for people who do not work hard and they reward these students rather than the ones who deserve to be rewarded.

I loved everyone at my school, it was very diverse and there was a place and group for everyone. Although, there were some teachers who did not do what they should have and did not care about teaching or setting a good example for students. I would love to see all of the teachers care about their students education and life, because I know that it matters.

Half the time it doesn’t feel like I’m learning, or a...

So much pride in one school. Ratings may be low on the academic side but there's no school with more sincerity, pride, diversity, and love for sports. Teachers put in work to make students feel known and sports drive into academic prosperity. There's a college program for students to graduate with a...
