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.

Hononegah is a tight-knit community school. The area it is located in is nice and most teachers are mindful of students prior extracurricular commitments. Mostly everyone at Hononegah is involved somehow; sports, student council, NHS, community service, or clubs.

The students can be racist and aggressive toward others that are not white or heterosexual. The teachers are accepting towards many students; however, they often do not help with mental health due to schooling or assignments. The building is old and has cockroaches, and the ceiling in one of the gyms leaks, otherwise the building is fine. I want the mascot to change due to the very racist ties to it as well, and many of those who live in Rockton and Roscoe want to keep it due to "tradition".

I will be a junior this upcoming school year and am grateful that I get to attend Hononegah. Hononegah has served me well the past 3 years and it saddens me to be leaving in just one short year. At Hononegah, I feel safe and feel that there is a comfortable learning environment created.

I have read some of the other post about Hononegah. The comments about athletics is wrong, they don't just care about sports. I'm an old parent that had two boys that graduated from there between 2005- 2011 and one is a teacher there. I've attend musicals, sporting event and have interacted with the...
