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.

Marion L. Steele High School in Amherst Ohio is a fine school.

The community does not support the school system and the high school is not organized to handle that. Every extra curricular is pay to play and even after you scrap the money together, the Board of Education will have no record that you paid. The high school at Amherst is like a different planet whe...
