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.

I started at shadle after going to a different high school my freshman year. From my first moment at Shadle, I could tell it would be a good place to be. The teachers are all so kind and you can tell they truly to care about the students. The community within the school has continued to grow in my time here and I loved how many ways there was to get involved. We hold a lot of school spirit here because we are proud of our school. I feel like i have learned a lot here and also been supported in both good and bad times.

The best part was the school spirit and the overall energy and effort everyone out into their experience. It was honestly inspiring and something I'd always been scared to ever do. The worst part was how I witnessed the complete decay of the public education system as the vaping epidemic took over the nation by storm. I'd like to see that change for the better and kids to stop destroying our schools.

It was a good school, but obviously not perfect. I enjoyed my time there, most of teachers were very knowledgeable and pleasant.

I don't recommend this school, in my first year. I dropped out and switched schools right after my freshman year after an incident that involved another student. The teachers hardly did anything to help me get out of my academic rut no matter how many times I asked, and then flunked me. But this did...
