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.

Shady Spring High School molded me into the person I am today. Teachers and staff have shown me how powerful I am and who I can truly be. I show thanks to the resources we were granted with through the stem program and our teacher that provided us with guidance through the work which provided every student insight into what career they would like to choose. I truly thank my school for all the kindness and authority they provided me with. The worst parts were the students who chose to be awful to others and the staff. I can say I have nothing badly to say of the staff but of the children they have to deal with. The only thing I could say to change is the way the parents raise their children and they need to raise them with respect. Even though these children riot and cause problem the teachers adjust and try to accommodate. They try their best to give them opportunities and it is not their fault they will not take it. It is the parents fault.

Overall most of the teachers were pretty understand in regards to issues that affected my work in home and at school. I had few teachers that I felt very close to and could really on for advice outside of school matters. The main down side of my experience was the curriculum that the school follows. It has failed in preparing for most college work and in giving us the ability to have pride in our work and efforts.

My daughter started being bullied at the Shady Spring Middle School and it continued on at the High School. The answer was to ostracize my daughter and put her on homebound where she had no interaction with others of her age. The bullies got to stay in school and participate in sports and all the sc...
