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.

My best experience has got to be being in the school drama club, there is never a dull moment and the people are wonderful. I don't really remember something that was the "worst" part, but something I'd like to see change is how schedules are organized and made.

The experience I had at Scituate High School was an ok experience. Some parts of the school need to be updated but safety is very important to them. Students are respectful to teachers and each other as well.

Not a recommendable school. They try their best to work with the students, and the guidance counselors care very much. However, there are few positive aspects to the school. The math department is perfect and the math teachers are very patient.

My oldest daughter is graduating this year and was accepted to several nursing schools in New England with significant academic awards. The majority of teachers put in the extra time with the students who are willing to do the work. I feel she is well prepared for university.
