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.

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.

Suffield High School is a typical rural farm town school. Offers a great Ag program that people from other districts transfer over to attend, and its a very basic but solid education. In terms of athletics, soccer and lacrosse are all that matters - other sporting events usually just have a few parents in the stands. Decent music program given the size of the school.
