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.

Rising Star High School is by far the best school I have ever gone too. It has a very small town feel so you get to know each and every student and faculty member personally. The average class size is about twelve people, meaning you get one on one help in almost every subject. The only downfall I believe it has is that since it is such a small school there is not a very wide range of classes that are offered.

Every teacher I have come in contact with truly cares about their job and the students. They are kind but can also be stern when a lesson needs to be taught. They are willing to help students if they are struggling which is a big thing for me to see. Overall I like every one of my teachers. They have always helped me and led me in the right direction if I'm struggling.

I think this school is great because of its size. I wish we could have more choices for the kids. I do not like the new administration at all and I think it is ruining the feel of the school
