Niche grades and rankings are calculated using dozens of public data sets and millions of reviews. Niche data scientists and user researchers rigorously analyze data and user opinions to assess the key aspects of K-12 Schools, Colleges, and Places to Live. Every month, millions of students and families use the Niche grades and report cards to find the right school or neighborhood.
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.

Staunton River is, to no fault of its own, decrepit. The staff members truly do try, but there is only so much they can do in a district that does not care for our school.

It's a high school. It has teachers. It has students. It has tests. This is submitted only for the contest. Anything else written here is just to get to the 100 word limit this form wants.

The time I have been at Staunton River has been wonderful. I have met great people and had great teachers. However, there are problems. Along with Staunton River, I am a student at Roanoke Valley Governor's School, and Staunton River does not do a very good job of recognizing us students. If there is not going to be us, we are the last to know about it. We have also changed to a new schedule, which creates severe disadvantages for Gov School students. In the future, it would be nice to see Gov School students have more recognition.
