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.

Littlestown was a nice Highschool. The best parts were the opportunities to go to tech schools, take AP's, and take classes that interest you. I think the worst parts were there were limited lunch choices, limited AP class choices with teachers, limited staff. In the future I'd love to see more sports being offered and more options to lead students to their future careers. I also loved the opportunity of "big brother/big sister" and was sad it was discontinued.

The teachers and staff do the best they can to provide a welcoming environment. Academics are high-quality, and teachers are always willing to help. There is a variety of clubs and sports to participate in. The school has a lively culture when it comes to football/basketball games and musicals. The only complaints I have is the (sometimes) unappetizing food and the extreme lack of diversity.

Its not a bad school. Teachers are very good and considerate, it's just that there is a lot of unlying issues like racism, homophobia, etc, that no one wants to really handle. No one wants to be responsible for handling things because it can cost them their job. Otherwise, the academics are pretty good, and the teachers and students for the most part are exceptional.

The administration is not helpful. I do not know why I even bother going to them with an issue because I never get anywhere. It is very disappointing.
