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.

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 teachers in the school are phenominal at helping students with any question they have. All of the faculty is great to work with. The coaches of sports are always people you can look forward to talking to.

Greater Nanticoke Area High School is average at best, and terrible at it's worst. resources are lacking, and the education system horrible for the most part. the school itself is also terrible, and don't get me started on the food. There are some good things though like some of the amazing teachers who truly are there to see us succeed. The school culture as well is amazing.

I've been learning the same thing for the past couple years. I'm still learning parts of speech! The students do run the school. We can curse to our teachers and them not do a single thing. They laugh and joke and never do anything. Then when they get mad they give us tests without much practice. An...
