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.

Sweet Home is great at getting kids were aren't academically achieved involved in stuff. Like our forestry or agricultural programs are good. But students who are strong in academics don't get as much. My math class doesn't offer honors and we only have Spanish as a language class, and we suffer in keeping a Spanish for long. We could just try to give the academic strong kids a push.

I liked the teachers as well as the interesting classes they offered at SHHS. Some of my favorite classes included English, programming, product design, digital media, and the home ec classes. Some things they could do better would be security of the school grounds, better consequences for students who misbehaved, and a cleaner campus.

I went to this school and hated every minute of it. The majority of teachers are close minded and discourage individualism. The students all have to fit into their cliques and it you dont praise jesus then you most likely wont be in the "popular" group. i wouldnt recommend going to this school unles...
