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 experience at Craig County High School has definitely been memorial. I have attended both primary and secondary schools here in Craig County Virginia all of my life. This is my last year in Craig County and I will most definitely miss it. Craig County High School is a very small, tight knitted school. One of the reason I love it so much.

I'm a middle class gal myself, but because our county is so small, there isn't enough tax revenue coming in to pr...
