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 attending Sweetwater Community School has been positively productive. Students with credit deficiency or behavioral problems are given structured influence and tools they need to be successful in attaining their diplomas. The most beneficial thing Sweetwater Community School offers is a credit recovery curriculum which motivates students to complete their courses. On the contrary one negative attribute of the school would be the lack of staff which prohibits proper management of students. Further more the issue must be resolved with the students in the best interest.
