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.

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.

Going to school here drains you. There's hardly any diversity, and a lot of racism and homophobia within the student body. The teachers aren't half bad, and most of them know exactly what they're doing and how to teach catering towards the learning style of their specific class.

I love my school. The atmosphere is great, the teachers are spectacular. I can't imagine going to a different school. I am involved in the music and arts and they are definitely some of the best places in the school.

I came to this school district for my freshman year of high school. I had immediately felt welcome to the school's environment and enjoyed the learning environment and resources it had offered. As a junior in this school, I still see it the same if not better. I am able to challenge myself and truly grow as a student and a member of society and I am able to do this through what my school has taught me.

This school fails to maintain a safe environment for the students and staff. Unless a student is involved in athletics, he/she is overlooked. Discrimination against those not involved in athletics is through the roof. The ongoing bullying epidemic has had zero management and a great lack of attentio...

My experience as a student at blue mountain high school has been nothing short of a hellish disaster. Kids here are only valued if they are participating in a sport and/ or come from a wealthy or middle/upper class family. Everything is viewed as a popularity contest and the arts is extremely underf...
