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.

Graves County Highschool is not my favorite place in the world. They have the tendency to treat high schoolers like children and address them as adults. There is also a bit of favoritism and sexism. Often boys will be walking around with short-shorts and not get dress-coded, but females get dress coded for showing off their shoulders.
