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 think it was a good school overall but the administration was lackluster at times and while there are pretty amazing teachers they come far and few between.

I just graduated from Sickles High School, and i have only good things to say about that school, except the lunches but they are like that in every single school, i would love for them to improve the lunches student have but overall it's an amazing school, with many clubs serving the community and developing a family within those clubs.

Starting from my freshman year, Sickles High School has been pretty great. There are so many course available and the teachers for the most part do a very good job. Majority of people are nice and administration is amazing with college guidance and support. Overall, Sickles is an amazing school.

There has been 7 fights this year, a gun magazine on the floor, students being attacked with milk in the lunchroom, and school administrators has done nothing about this and instead choose to sit on their phones and not monitor anything.
