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.

These past years I have spent most of my time at Honesdale High School. Some of the most memorable and genuine experiences of my life where made at Honesdale High School. One of the best experiences I have had was being a part of the football cheerleading team. Fridays nights spent with the team made my high school experience full of friendships and smiles. One of the bad things I experienced at Honesdale High School was the battle of popularity. Having the right last name in our small town made you more liked and able to get what you wanted while in school and at school functions. Something I would like to see change at Honesdale High School would be the amount of career related opportunities and education on future tasks to be improved and easier for students to receive. I want all students to be able to be helped with their futures and gain better understandings of their own lives.
