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.

Sycamore High School is a decent school if you want to graduate with the bare minimum requirements. This school is not known for its academics or its sports, it is known for the teacher's federal offences.

I go to sycamore High School and it is a very small school with not many opportunities. I am a senior and some students younger than me are going to graduate with an Associates degree. I never got that opportunity, and the school does not tell the students the opportunities has. I would like to see a better staff in our school and for the staff to be reliable. I would also like to see our school be safer, our school has rules that are very pointless, instead of focusing on safety rules.

My experience at Sycamore High School includes lots of ups and downs, but the best part of this school for me is the familiarity between other students and staff members, which is something that comes with a smaller school and makes for a comfortable and familiar environment. Something that I would like to see changed, however, is the inclusivity. The school is not very diverse as it is, and people tend to judge and exclude others who don't fit into their opinion of how you should act/dress.
