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.

Overall, like most schools, it got you ready for college. The teachers did their best to teach and counselors did their best to get you ready for college, helping you wherever you needed with your applications.

There is low diversity in the school. Many teachers don't want to see their students improve in their subject; most teachers release the hardest content they can to challenge students yet affect grades.

Somers High School is a pretty average suburban high school. I'd say it's well known for its lack of diversity.

Most of the teachers do an excellent job. The administration is abysmal, though, and show no ability to lead their school. It's obvious the principal doesn't care about his students when he even plagiarizes a letter to students about protesting recent gun violence in schools. The bad administration...
