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.

The experience at Saranac high school is definitely better than other schools around us. I feel the teachers genuinely care about their students and want what's best for their students.

the highschool is much safer than the middle school, but still iffy. drugs, racism, and just discrimination in general is a very often occurrence. the diversity is absolutely terrible. finding friends is nearly impossible if you're not a teenage boy who's a stoner or a judgy blonde girl who plays soccer. I don't like this school
