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.

The best experiences are being part of a school that is almost as old as the students in it the school essentially grew up with many of the students that reside there today, the school essentially grew from a small 20-50 person school in 2009 to my graduating class of 400 in 2025 .

I attended Locust Grove High School for my freshman and sophomore years of high school. The teachers are very involved and engaging. There are a wide variety of clubs and sports available to all students. The administration is very thorough and takes parent and student concerns very seriously.
