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.

Horrible, horrendous, horrifying. It's like somebody built a school dedicated to only failing. Like, what's the point of it in the first place? To raise money for the government? To start conspiracy theories?

During my time at Elmira high school, I found it very difficult to navigate. There is a lot of negativities within the school's community, lack of attention by administration or other faculty. As all schools do, Elmira high school had its cons as well. There were many opportunities that attempt to set students up for success dependent on their situations. Many of the teachers build a connection with the students and become a supportive resource.

My experience was overall good. There is not much bullying though there could be more clubs and activities.

I am not surprised by everything that has happened since I've graduated because I had seen a lot of things. I did have a handful of outstanding teachers that did whatever they could to help y...
