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.

There was not much diversity at Shelby. There was a bit of bullying, but it was not prevalent. There were fights every once in a while, though. Also, there were prevalent cliques and gossip, but nothing unusual.

I am new to Shelby Junior High School. I have gone to every class feeling welcomed and valued. The homework load is fair as well. There are so many fun events this school hosts. There is some bullying but besides that, I love it so far.
