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 Springs High School has a beautiful facility and an overall fantastic experience. I have been going to this school all my life and have always enjoyed high school life. The most complicated things involved the other students and the work but that's typically for a fresh-to-high-school kid.

Our school is pretty clean for the most part. Our only real problem is some students are pretty snobby and like to be real jerks to kids with problems. They don't necessarily beat them up or steal their lunch money, but they do make a lot of rude comments that are completely unnecessary.

The school offers a decent amount of extracurricular activities. They range all the way from drama club to FFA. Teachers are very helpful when one is wanting to get involved in an club or sport. All of our teachers put in a lot of extra work to keep our organizations up and running.
