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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

It is one of the best school I've been to. The teacher are good at getting that one on one time and are always open for questions. The student body is in a little bit of everything and is really good at supporting each other especially during games.

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.
