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.

Heard Count can easily be like a family if you get involved and make friends. However, with it being a small town and small school, it can be hard to always fit in. But, a small school also means the staff and teachers have more opportunities to work closer with students.

I would like to see there be more diverse religious groups/clubs. The main support at this school goes to the sports and not the arts or any other organizations. Sports get a lot of recognition and not academics. The food at lunch and breakfast times is not good and even if you eat and get everything that is offered you will still be hungry. Mental health is also not a priority here; it only just became kind of one because of an incident. It should have been a priority before the incident.

The teachers are very helpful. Though, most will rely on you to make sure that your work is up to date.

Not a very good school. As a parent look into other schools to place your children. The leadership is not the Best. There are a few good teachers at this school but the care is not here.
