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 Sangamon Valley was a great one. When I went there, the teachers were always friendly, and classes, though challenging, were rewarding. Though I am not sure if it is the case now, it was a good small, public school. The building itself needs updating a lot, though. Many rooms have broken tiles and leaking roofs. The building itself is well over 50 years old, and while many surrounding towns have updated buildings, this one is old and starting to fall apart.

I love the teachers at my school. They are great at making sure each and every student has an equal chance of learning. They will always offer one-on-one help to anyone who needs it. Without them, I would not be where I am today.
