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.

My experience at Elma High School so far has been fantastic. It's easy to catch up on work, the teachers are super kind, my motivation has been better than at my old high school, and overall has been just positive.

This school is great. The teachers and parents have an open relationship. I get weekly emails telling me about my children's grades so I can see whether or not they are on track. A good community to raise a family in and a great school for students to attend.

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.
