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.

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.

I liked ortonville secondary school because the teachers treat you like friends and you feel very welcomed there. One thing I would change would be the food and different teaching techniques.

There are some fabulous staff members at the school, and the administration does try. But the policies in place lead to many students not feeling accountable or acting out. Bullying and misbehavior are very rampant and policies are very unequal from one classroom to the next.
