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.

I have been going to Cross County for 7 years, and overall I can say that it is a great place that has a balance of everything you would want in a small rural town school. I rate this purely out of my personal bias, but I don't have much bad to say about this school district.

I chose to leave the small town and move to a city to avoid having to live in a small town that only thrived from family owned businesses. This helped me to choose a higher education and get away from the education I was given that only taught me how to be a farmer and live off of my family's business.

Everyone who joins plays and the community is always there for support. The school spirit thrives because of the pep band otherwise most students are either competing or playing in the band.
