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.

Sand Rock gives flourishing opportunities to their respective students both athletically and more importantly athletically. The teachers and coaches are very supportive, and in such a small school everyone feels like family.

If the only thing you care about is athletic ability then this is the place for you. Also being white and racist is definitely a plus.

What I like about Sand Rock High School is the feeling of being at home. It's small so everybody knows everybody and you just feel really close to everyone of may grade. What I do not like about Sand Rock High School is the building is old. We have class in the basement and it floods all the time and grows mold. The hallways are tiny and they are also freezing. Some teachers have to teach class outside of the high school in a completely desperate building because there are not enough classrooms. It's not a bad place it's just really old.

Great school, prepared me exceptionally well for a top ten nationally ranked college. I will argue that you get what you put into it, if a student isn't willing to work hard and put forth the effort, then they are not going to learn. Easy as that.
