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.

4.0 Junior

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.

During my four years at Simla High School, I have noticed that the faculty does so much to help their students be successful. I am very grateful for my time spent at this school.

The teachers at Big Sandy High School are by far the best teachers I have had. When I was in Goodland Kansas I was struggling with the teachers and then I moved here and the teachers were amazing and gave me all the help I needed.
