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.

Better interacting with admin and parents. Not everything can be achieved via email or websites. However they have made great strides in providing a food pantry to those that need it in our district.

The teachers need to take more control over their classrooms and parents need to be more involved. There was a lot of agricultural involvement that was offered to the students.

Collins-Maxwell Community has really come together in the past few months to support the school. I see new and exciting things happening at Collins-Maxwell MS/HS. The administration, staff, and school board are working with students, parents, and the community to make this one of the best small schools in the state of Iowa. There is a lot of pride in this school. It is the beginning of a new era...the Spartans. 1:1 technology, STEM classes, academic opportunities for higher education credits, caring teachers, etc.
