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.

The best part of my experience is the guidance counselors. My guidance counselor has been a big help when it comes to preparing for college. The worst part is the food. The food overall isn't the best, with an occasional good meal once in a blue moon. I'd like to see better food and more up-to-date school laptops.

I love the teachers who are super dedicated, I don't really like our dress code, but I understand it's purpose, our lunch could be better, since as a picky eater I don't get much option then to not eat at all. I would love for us to get more leniency when it comes to work, lots of us are very busy and involved.

I came to Sandusky from WCS and it is a very different experience. I feel like they education is very lack luster and they favor athletics over academics and the student experience.
