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 Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

Garretson is a very close knit community. The teachers genuinely want to see you succeed and will work to help you do so and they can take the time to do this with such small class sizes. However with it being such a small school the class options are limited and the diversity are not there. Technology at the school however is kept fairly up to date and strive to continue excelling. It's been through some rough patches with budgets but it's trying to move forward as best it can.

There are lots of friendly students to come across at our school. The diversity isn't as high in our school as most schools. Peer pressure isn't a huge problem, but there's been a few little minor incidents. Overall, our school is fairly minimal towards diversity.

There are many sports that people can go out for. However, there doesn't seem to be much interest among the students and the coaches tended to play favorites.
