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.

I feel very safe in Craigmont. It's definitely somewhere I love and I'm very proud to say I go there. The clubs are amazing. Also, the teachers make sure they build a bond with their students. Craigmont is an international studies school so we get to travel everywhere every year. The optional program is great. They make sure to give us different resources to get ready for college.

The one thing I liked about Craigmont was that I made amazing memories with my classmate there. The thing I didn't like the most was that the school didn't let us do much activity wise. There was little to no field trips, our pep rallies were always boring, and we students did try to have fun, we were shut down. Craigmont is just a boring school.

My experience at Craigmont High is okay. I wish we would have more clubs for more opportunities. I also wished we had more foreign languages as it used to in the past

This school is terrible. Kids set the garbage cans on fire, pull the fire alarm, have riots, steal from staff, have fights every day. If your child has a little potential don't bring them there. It's horribly set up the teachers smoke with the students. And their are gangs everywhere

There are many bad things that happen at other schools as well. Craigmont high school has a plethora of positive things going on. They have an excel...
