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.

This school is really supportive and tries their hardest to make sure all the kids are involved within student activities. I really love the feel of the school, I always feel safe and cared for by the school. They really try to make each child's education most beneficial to them, they adapt to needs of each individual student and do not discriminate by race, age, religion, etc.

Many of the parents are out helping the students get involved in things and can tend to be like parents to all the other kids.

I believe there is a lot of people involved in some kind of sport. Some of are sports do good others don't do as great. I don't think we have that great of school spirit but we do have some. We do have pretty good sports facilities for each sport.

Our Sparta school system wastes taxpayer money and it is in a very steep decline.

Poor test scores that point larger problems. If you dig into these scores you can see a pattern of decline.

Low test scores and an administration that lacks control. The high school is lacking in diversity.
