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.

Would like to see teachers that actually take an interest in all students. Not just favorites. Would also like to see less bias when it comes to students who are perceived as troubled.

I transferred from Webster County HS in Webster County, WV to Nicholas County High School in the beginning of my junior year and it was the best decision I have ever made!
