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.

My child got sent home because he came in contact with some that tested positive for Covid! I was assured that he wouldn't receive class grades besides the work given him through Microsoft Teams... That was a lie! He is failing two classes because two teachers gave him zero for in-class quizzes that they want to be made up! What happened to him being excused from class work!!!

Sims Middle School has been a wonderful experience for 3 of my children. My 4th will attend next year and I am confident it will be just as good for him. The staff and faculty care about each student and want to succeed.
