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.

Elgin high school is amazing. It provided me with good bits of knowledge and skills that helped me make it into college. The worst part of Elgin was the drama. The best parts are the size, teachers, and so much more. I would want the school to try and improve club involvement.
