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 Water is a great school. It way be small but the love there is large. The teachers and staff work so hard for everybody. I'm so lucky to be graduating from there. It's small so everyone knows everyone and no one is ever singled out or alone.

Sweet Water has been such a huge help in preparing me for college and to pursue dreams that I have had since I was little. They guide you on the path you need to go on to get to where you are going after high school. They help you prepare academically by giving us practice ACT test and helping us up our score over and over. Their goal is to help us succeed and grow. I am very thankful for Sweet Water High School, and their dedication to teach me as well as others to go into the field we love.
