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.

This is a very small school so it is really hard to have a lot of things. In the best there has always been school spirit, but after COVID it went away and hasn't fully come back until now. But some of the teachers are cracking down and, in a way, taking the fun out of things so that students don't want to go to school anymore.

The staff at Nikiski Middle/Senior High School are truly amazing. It's friendly, kind, and the staff members are practically a family. They are beyond understanding and I'm so glad I go to this school. The students stand up for one another, and the grades are close knit and everyone knows everyone. It's easy to make friends that could very well last a lifetime.
