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.

Both of my children who graduated from SHS were prepared for college admissions due to the guidance department, classes they were enrolled in and afforded the opportunity to participate in, as well as the clubs and extracurricular activities the students were allowed to be a part of orchestrating. Parent involvement from the community can be overwhelming.

After my 4 years now here at Simsbury High school it's been a privilege to go through the system to get me prepared. They have allowed students to explore a wide range of activities and academic opportunities while at the same time getting you ready for college at day 1. Simsbury High School has allowed me to open up to opportunities available and has made me feel ready for the next chapter of my life, university.

It’s the reason we moved to Simsbury. You will get a private school experience for free! The curriculum is rich and diverse, definitely readying students for college.

Excelllent experience from almost 20 years ago. Went to top ranked college, masters programs and was more than prepared for academic, corporate career and life experiences from Simsbury Public Schools and SHS.

If my child didn't have a learning disability, our experience would be very good. But their sub-standard special ed services have made that experience miserable.

Teachers are fantastic, but the guidance dept is enept, principal is an elitist snob, spends more time at seminars and coffee socializing than involvement with actual student needs
