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.

My school is a very big school to me. I have been here since 6th grade. What I would like to see changed is more support in the music department and also more advocacy for HBCUs and having HBCU tours.

Overall good school and small classes, if I had children I would send them here over public schools. As I was graduating there was talk of the superintendent wanting to eliminate AP classes--it would be a shame if that actually happened.

I attended this school and overall my experience was fine. I attended my school for seven years all the way from 6-12. This school has good teachers and offers many good classes. They have a diverse community and a strong culture. The administration could be better, and the overall process of fixing problems is very slow, however, things get better over time. Overall this school is fine.

Honestly, everything changes every year. Or at least it used to. For the year of 2017-2018 Two Rivers High School will merge with ours and that will change everything. I've had to switch logos twice and names three times for my school. They cut out the medical and teaching pathway to convert to STEM...

This school is awful. It opened at the new building this year with no schedules and no materials. The kids sat around for the first week without classes to attend. The staff is so unsupportive - Its amazing the students learn anything. If kids are learning, its because they are already prepared by t...

this is truly a great school. it is a small school and the teachers really CARE about their students, not only as students but as people. this means that no student slips between the cracks. they do have an academically challenging program as they use the Cambridge curriculum and students in 9th and...
