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.

Sackets is a great school to attend all in all. They do have some of their flaws, that will be addressed in the next up coming years but other than that I've had a great experience in this school!

I do go a very small school, so there aren't very many extracurricular activities or clubs to be a part of. Despite that fact, the clubs we do have are very involved with the community and I love being a part of them. The teachers are very caring, and genuinely want to see their students do well. I do not like how small my school is. My graduating class is 43 people, and I feel like everyone is constantly in my business and personal life. Being from a small school is also a good thing at times, for the same reason. Overall, I like my school, but I wish there were more opportunities for students.

We have three kids here now and each of them are doing really well. We chose this school because of the incredibly small class sizes, supportive teaching staff and administrators, and the community feel. It's great to also have our middle schoolers and elementary schooler in the same place on the sa...

Our grandchildren attend here and have been warmly received by staff and students, even though they are ethnic minorities. We like the small class sizes and individual attention. Our only complaint is that the district web site often (maybe always?) doesn't work, so we can't see the calendar to know...

Our two daughters attended this school and have excelled at college after graduation. The faculty and staff at this school work hard to help all of the students.
