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 enjoyed my time at SHS. It was a small close knit community where there was support from the student body and the staff.

It's a pretty average school. I had some great teachers, but some were debatable. I wish there were AP or honors classes to challenge myself in.

Syracuse High School in my perspective is the best place to be because you get one on one help with teachers and are with individuals that eventually become family. You will always feel safe no matter what because we look out for each other and that is what makes our school unique.
