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.

Sparta High School is a good school to attend when living in a small town. It is very diverse and the teachers and students are kind and accepting. The only downside is the lack of COVID-19 regulations as of now. It feels like the school district as a whole cares more about the students grades than the safety and well being of those attending. The individuals are amazing. however.

Have permanent mental problems as a result of neglectful principal and teachers. They'd rather build a new gymnasium then pay their teachers a living wage.

There are a great array of sports and extra curricula...
