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.

This school was the best place to not only get a education but to grow up in. Some things may have been lacking due to the size of the school but it was a great place with good people and I wouldn't change anything.

Being a small-town school, my experience at Simla High School has largely been defined by the community. All of the students know each other and have grown up together, emulating a familial atmosphere. Moreover, the staff strive to optimize each child's education and I have experienced far greater intellectual growth than I would have in a bigger city school.
