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.

Sidney is a really good school system. The teachers and administrators care about learning but they are also supportive of all the extra activities students do like sports, music, one act, etc. Sidney provides a well rounded education for students in a smaller community. Even though Sidney is in a smaller community, Sidney prepares students for college and life.

The teachers were what I liked most about Sidney High School. Every teacher that I had was 100% invested in all their students. I don't think that all high school students are so lucky. But honestly, every teacher really made me feel like they actually cared about me and how my life was going turn out.

I thought moving to a small town would be a sacrifice for the schooling but it's completely the opposite! I honestly think the school system is whatbhas kept my family here so long. I can't imagine living another place. It really is everything you would expect in a small town but 100% more amazing

The teachers don't do anything besides scream at the students when they don't do what they are supposed to and when you ask questions. The studen...
