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 very sport orientated. The music and art programs are less cared about than I think they should be. As a student that cares very deeply about music and art, I would like them to be funded a little better. All sports/arts should be treated equally and students should be given equal opportunity with them. The students also are usually scared of being judged by their peers when they join specifically a music class. I wish that would also go away.

Spearville schools are a very positive learning environment for all ages. From Kindergarten up to a Senior in high school I always felt a positive influence both in education and just life overall. The Spearville community is amazing and I am so glad I was able to grow up in it.
