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.

My experience at Sterling High School was very well. Everybody was quite nice, even so I had few friends, the ones I did had was very nice to me anyways. Even one of the teachers gave me a present before I left. I would like to see the behavior of some the students change though.

I know I summed that up quickly but I mean other than above average test scores and amazing musical programs including a recording studio available for student use, the school is fairly quaint. In my experience everyone is fairly respectful.
