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.

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.

Even though I have recently graduated, it was not such a horrible experience like many other people make it out to be. I have met amazing administrators, teachers and friends and has learned a lot of lessons by each and everyone one of them. The only thing I would say that needs to be a change is less strictness and more activities and engagement with the students. That will help the students look forward to going to school more.

My overall experience wasn't terrible. It's mostly who you surround yourself with but looking back at my time at Spoto They did not promote student participation as much as they could have. It would have been nice to join you a club but the club that they did have seemed "click ish" There were also a lot of fights at the school.

Spoto is very interesting. The faculty is very biased and tends to choose favorites and can be highly strict. Sports facilities are not great at all and the campus environment is unsafe and kids are constantly fighting.
