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.

I love this school. Now everyone goes through the "high school experience" of friend groups, sports, homework, etc. But here you always have someone that is supporting you. And also I have always loved all of my classes finding them fun, challenging, and interesting. I do believe this school become more excepting to the changing times and not try to control and protect everyone from things that we have already seen in life

Stonington high school has a fair amount of money and resources compared to many other schools, but they don't use it in a way that benefits their students. The class selection and academics are okay, but it could use improvement. Resources could be diverted more towards the music and arts programs, and less towards the sub-par athletics program.

I would say Stonington itself is a pretty nice school. The sports programs and classes are fantastic, and the teachers are very helpful and friendly. However, the students are very "cliquey". It could just be because of how small the school is, but regardless, I'd say that's one of the main issues. Another problem is that there aren't any resources provided to students to help prepare for the SAT/ACT. Besides those issues though, it's not a bad place to go to school :)

The awarding SHS of one star is due solely to the Football staff. The teaching staff are not only woefully disinterested, but I suspect they honestly do not even like teaching; the Superintendant's and Admission's offices are sadly, a comedy routine that you would not believe exist in reality anywhe...
