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.

Pretty nice school but there are definitely not many opportunities for students to be challenged just because of how small the school is.

I had a great overall experience in my time at Saranac Lake. I was a two sport athlete for all four years of my high school career. I was in the new vision education program, which was an amazing program that helped me pave my way into the education field.

The best parts about the high school are the music department, the athletics, and the extra curricular(s). The worst parts are the teachers don't teach in each learning style to help the academic success of all of there students.

Graduated as part of the class of 2024, and I just would like to say that this school district is absolutely abhorrent; the staff treat the students like they are nothing more than garbage on the side of the road that nobody wants to clean up. The buildings are filthy, and it’s no wonder why student...
