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.

Starkweather academy gave me everything I needed to be successful, not only academically, but outside of academics as well. The teachers at Stark changed my whole perspective on life in general. I am here, and I am successful in all aspects of my life, because of them. I am a better and happier person because of them.

I enjoyed my experience at Starkweather Alternative High School. I like that there is hardly any bullying and you can get help from your teachers easy because there aren't a lot of students. The only thongs I don't like are that there aren't any sports teams and the food is average.

The Teachers are there to TEACH the students. This includes Teaching them how to learn & can succeed. The building is old and I am hoping they move this program to a different building.
