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.

At hiwassee dam high school, there are a few teachers who really care about their students and their future. When you need help, you know which teachers to turn to. Whether it's a problem at home or proofreading an essay, you know you can turn to the select few teachers for help. In the future, I would hope that hiwassee dam high becomes more proactive in helping with scholarships and preparing students for real-life situations.

I liked how small the school is. I nearly know everybody in the entire school and know every single person I am graduating with. I would like to see the sports program change and better involvement with the other extracurricular activities.
