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 like the teachers. They have a wide range of teachers with varying backgrounds in education and lifestyles. Many grew up in poor neighborhoods themselves and understand what these kids are dealing with on a daily basis. They are all very willing to lend a helping hand to a student in need. I enjoyed the many assemblies they, as many would involve interaction with the students and would keep us posted on upcoming things.

Nice small town environment. Many improvements have been made since I attended such as an on-site community college mini campus.

Overall Sweet Home High School has improved dramatically over the past semester. There is more involvement throughout the administration and more organization. However I think there needs to be more arts programs for example bringing back drama class. I also think the lunches need serious improvement if they're really going to charge people $1.25 for food that tastes terrible. Lastly I think the school needs to put in way more effort to avoid students having conflicts on schedules and needing to pick a class a drop the other. The school acts as though it's an easy decision but it's not. Students shouldn't have to pick between their favorite classes because the "grand" schedule says so. This was not a problem three years ago and should no longer be a problem if enough work and thought is put into it.

This school has a fantastic selection of educated and intelligent teachers. The sports are also a great opportunity, however, the problem with this particular High School is the student body. at least 50% of the body could care less about their education, which make people like myself a target, beca...

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...
