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 graduated in 2017, and from what I remember the whole experience was pretty basic. Living in vernon my whole life, it was pretty close to home and everyone had their own clique. I've seen on social media that teachers are being dismissed due to funding so it's a shame to see a place that once was flourishing to be in this state.

I love my school. I think it is excellent as it is right now, but it would be even better with more resources that would allow better classrooms .

Pretty good, mostly sane teachers. Bad food. Bad councilors and lack of communication across student and councilors.

The only word I can use to describe our experience at this school is dreadful. There is no mentoring at the school and instead the teachers are bullies. They blame the students for everything and hide behind the union. Thank Goodness both my kids have decided to leave Vernon Township School district...

Horrible school. Drugs and bullying are rampant, and staff does nothing to help the situation. Don't send your children here.

My daughter hates it and lots of bullying and not many nice kids if any. One year left, hope it changes, and they will be on their third Principal this year.
