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 have enjoyed my education at Decorah High School. I strongly believe that the career/college set up exceptions here are great and that you have several people to turn to for help getting started on applications, job shadows, scholarships, etc.

The staff is amazing and students are so accepting. The curriculum is great too. I would love to see some reading clubs or something like that.

I graduated in 2019 and had an overall good experience, the only downfall is there are extremely high expectations which can cause stress amongst students.
