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.

It has been a wonderful experience making friends and some role models have shaped the way I think for the better, physically and mentally. But some of the teachers seem like there only there for the pay check and the mostly invest into sports like basketball and football.

My experience with high school in Rockcastle county Kentucky is ok for the most part although I would like them to reach out more and help students more. I have ask numerous times about help with college stuff and I never get anything in return. I would also like for them to do more with the students the most they do is football games or basketball games. The school and the staff are very nice and the teachers usually support their students but some of the teachers and staff want nothing to do with them and are very rude.I would love to see a change in all of these things I feel as though they could be a really good school and if the just fixed a few things they could make it such a better and successful school.
