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.

Starks is a small school comprising PreK through 12th grades in one campus with one administrative team. The class sizes are small enough to ensure ample attention from teachers.

This school has its bad habits like every other school.

Starks offers a great enviroment to learn, as well as a relaxed atomosphere. Being a small school, SHS uniquely and individually spends time with each student. Time is taken to encourage students, and make each one feel imporant. If I could choose another school over Starks, I would make no changes. SHS is my number one choice and in my opinion, the best out there.
