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.

It was there and I did my last year of high school. Rural NH/VT small school that did well with its limited resources thanks to dedicated teachers.

It was just my teenage middle school years at this school, while it was not the most flawless environment, it did get the job done.

Small class sizes allow students to build a relationship with teachers. The teachers are generally of good quality. The atmosphere lacks school spirit, and improvements need to be made to draw kids in from other schools.

Rivendell Academy has an incredible staff and administration and is a great school for a top notch education within a nurturing environment. Every student matters and is encouraged and supported to do their best. Kids can move ahead if they are ready and take classes at Dartmouth (free), or Vermont...
