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.

My experience at Calvert high has not been good this year. There are so many fights and kids vaping and admin doesn't take any steps toward stopping them. I don't feel like my future is being taken seriously here.

The school is pretty average for a high school. The only thing I would change are the certain rules and regulations in the school. For example I would allow students to doordash/order food for lunch.

Overall I've had a pretty good experience so far. I like that we have all honors classes and very helpful guidance counselors that help students whenever they need it. I also like the teachers in this school because they are always willing to help and make sure everyone is doing good. The main thing I don't like is the schedule.

I think that by attending this school, my academic achievement has been slowed. The teachers are not very goods, and the facilities seem as through they will fall down on us at any moment. I would attend another school in a heartbeat.
