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 Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

Rising Star High School is a decent school. It is very tiny and is classified as a 1A school. We are better at Academics than anything that deals with sports.

Rising Star High School is a safe school in my opinion. However, the administration could provide more safety precautions. We have basic drills but they should be more frequent in order to ensure the safety of each individual. I also think the school should require all visitors to sign in and each staff member and student should be required to have an ID.
