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.

Decatur community high school has taught me so many helpful things to get me through life. Everybody cares about everybody. Everybody knows everybody. You will not pass a face in the hall and not know their name. This school has taught me how to be personable and caring. The teachers are extraordinary. They know what they are teaching, and that's what the kids deserve. It is a wonderful school that I would recommend to anyone.
