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.

I love Sidney High School the teachers are AMAZING. Choir and Band are both great Mr. and Mrs. Mead are both great directors. The Cross Country coaching staff is again AMAZING every year there are great leaders (seniors) and I never want to leave my school during games everyone always has school spirit. But there are people who are very rude and dress inappropriately.
