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.

I began my learning experience at Idalou Elementary whenever I was in first grade and am now a senior in Idalou High School. My mom teaches Kindergarden in the Elementary School and my sister is in Middle School. I play football and have been a part of varsity football ever since I was a freshmen. My senior year we beat Friona in Bi-District round of football. Then Crane in the Area round of the playoffs. However our playoff run ended whenever we lost to Wall in the Regional round of the playoffs. I earned awards for 1st Team All-District Linebacker and Honorable Mention All-State Academic.

Idalou High School is a very clean well kept school with great student who keep great grades. There is also a great staff at Idalou High School especially the teachers they always put there students future first and will do the most to help them with keeping good grades. We also have a great principal that is very inviting and always has his students best interest first. I feel like everyone at Idalou is very welcoming and very kind to each other. The safety at Idalou is top notch we have a police department in our school and all doors stay locked no matter what including classroom doors. Teachers are also super serious about our safety so when we have drills we will barricade doors just to practice as though it's the real thing. Idalou's sports are amazing our coaching staff keeps all our kids in great shape and last year we went to state in girls basketball. Overall Idalou is an incredible school and I recommend Idalou school district to anyone and everyone.

I had previously gone to a very small school so when I had to move to a bigger city, I was scared of going to a big school. Thankfully, Idalou was nearby and wasn't much bigger than my previous school. I felt instantly welcomed. The academic curriculums are taught very well, and there are numerous extracurricular opportunities.

Idalou High School. There needs to be a restructuring of teachers they need to be available and willing to help students when the students ask for help the teachers need to help instead of turning them away especially in the Pre-Calculus class.
