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.

The administration at Emmetsburg High School is very questionable. Many teachers left after being there for 1 or 2 years, and they couldn't seem to keep teachers around any longer. Many of these teachers are also first-year teachers with less experience. However, it is a nice community with small classes where everyone knows each other.

My high school is very small. There are only about 60 kids in my graduating class. Due to this fact, everybody looks out for each other and we all hope to exceed together.

The teachers at this school are usually very friendly and ready to help students with anything you may need help with, even if it isn't for their class. They are good at making sure everyone has plenty of opportunities to receive help if they need it.
