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.

The teachers are pretty good. Behavior is becoming an issue though (but might be the same at most schools).

This school is TRASHY. They don't care about anybody's feelings or opinions. I'm a student and I don't even wan't to go to school anymore. I don't feel safe. DO NOT, consider this school as a choice for your children.

Both my son and daughter attended this school. My kids both were in sports and clubs. My daughter is going to be a Freshman at Oswego East and is prepared and excited. The teachers are so supportive and I thank you for the great job you did for my family.
