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 Colonial High School wasn't bad, but it wasn't particularly good either. I'm glad that Colonial has given me the chance to meet the best staff members and the opportunity to play any sport I want while being taught by the best teachers.

I love being a part of the Grenadier squad. Colonial offers many academic opportunities, such as Dual Enrollment, AICE, and AP courses, which challenge me and my peers academically in a positive way. The worst part of Colonial is the school's budget, which is low considering the number of things it can support. I would like to see more involvement in the faculty with the students, and I would like to see more spirit weeks and thus the students' school spirit.

Depending on the teacher, some are easy to connect with and others are terrible. Counselors can be hard to reach depending on the person. They offer many sports and services hour opportunities.

The learning is good. The teachers are nice. There's a counselor, Ms. Carabella, I think. She is on the 9th grade campus, and she's so nice and supports everyone. The family engagement isn't very good. This school isn't very safe. There are constant fights, and nobody breaks them up; they just watch...
