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.

Coming in as an incoming freshman, I was not too happy to come to Sage Creek because our rival school had a lot of better aspects than Sage Creek did. However, over my duration at this school, I am proud to soon be alumni at Sage Creek. I met so many incredible people who have shaped me into who I am. I am so grateful for the fun and creative community that I was able to be a part of.
