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.

What I liked about Elma High School was more so of just the friends and people I met. What I would like to see change about Elma High School is the support and education system.

The teachers really care about the students but if there is a problem with a teacher, then administration will remove the student from the class instead of fixing the problem.

The counselors are very helpful with college information. There could be better coaches that are hired for the athletics.

Elma high school needs new counselors that know what they're doing and will put the students best interest first and foremost. They need a new school psychologist that isn't married to the superintendent. They need a new vice principle and principle. Their administration staff is horrible. My child...

This school is all about picking favorites. It's very discouraging and holds students from growth. As a student I recommend not to enroll your student in Elma.

Elma high is a great school with various classes that allow students to gain experience and understanding so that it may be used later on in life. I've seen the clubs it has to offer and know the staff are willing to help students if they're willing to accept it. Great school and free food.
