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.

Locust Fork is a small school with a cute hometown vibe to it. I love how tight knit the community is. The locust Fork community always comes together to help those in need. The only things you could complain about would be the lack of variety in shops and stores. The high school handles bullying very well, there is drama but that is everywhere.

My experience at Locust Fork High School was good. It was good because the teachers were willing to help me and other students with the classes material after class so if we didn't understand something we could always go to them. The teachers were also very good about making sure no one was bullied and making sure that no one felt left out. The faculty also pushed to have students participate in as many events as possible which helped me and a lot of other students have a memorable high school experience.
