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.

Not very good at anything. The band is pretty good though. There are good teachers and bad teachers, same goes for the students.

Shepherd High School is a fairly small highschool but It does have some perks, most of the teachers are great and we really do understand what they are teaching us. Also the extracurriculars are very fun for example, there is drill team, band, color guard, football, baseball etc. etc. Our directors/ coaches really make us enjoy whatever we are doing with them.
