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.

I had a great time and really got involved which made my time there much more valuable. Aside from having a great time, I was also challenged by several of my honor classes. Both years prepared me for my first year of high school which was really easy for me. Both years at Chemawa i recieved a 4.0 g.p.a with honor classes. Freshman year i recieved a 4.0 the first semester and a 3.8 the second.
