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.

5.0 Junior

Overall I've had a great experience in Conard. I am a Junior and each year I have gained relationships with teachers that I feel have been beneficial to my development. I also have a great relationship with my counselor who is always there to answer any questions that I may have. My mom has been concerned about college and my counselor has always been there to answer any and all questions. We have a "Junior Workshop" preparing us for college and the admission process. It's been overwhelming but at the same time somewhat calming because of the step by step instructions completed in our workshops.

I get bullied by kids at this school. I don't understand why. I listen to hip hop too and I really hate this school. The salami is golden though. But jeez so mean these people can be! One of the teachers here who listens to punk rock music makes fun of me for liking hip hop and he calls me "Fly Guy" whatever thats supposed to mean. I just want to learn and I am forced at this school against my will so just stop bothering me.

As a graduate of Conard, I have had the pleasure of having both my kids graduate from Conard as well. From a kid's viewpoint, this is a very active, socially involved school that provides a wide variety of activities - sports to academic - that give kids an extra edge. As a parent, the teachers and...
