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.

Firelands is an amazing school for academics. As a sophomore I have already taken 4 college classes and have had lots of support from teachers and administrators. Firelands is very safe, however the diversity is very bad.

Most of the staff is very welcoming. However this school is not very diverse, but this could be due to being in a rural area. Staff provides unique ways to implement rules and regulations. They provide various activities for the students. Certain programs are not funded properly, and some staff is treated unfairly.

This school has allowed me to reach as far as I could, helping me achieve college credit while earning high school credit at the same time during the last two years I have worked there. The school is highly diverse and a great environment to learn in.

If that's not a t...
