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.

Great learning environment, great place to connect with peers and have great laughs. Feels like a big family there and the teachers try their hardest teaching and making sure we understand the assignments.

When I first started Steel City I wasn't sure I'd like it, Now that I have stayed It's really a great school. The teachers and the students are absolutely amazing. I wouldn't want to graduate from any high school but this one !
