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.

The community the school is associated with is very good and the learning environment is also good. They strive to be academically excellent while still caring about the wellbeing of the student. Overall, I had a positive experience at this school.

Elk Rapids High School has been my high school for the past four years, and it is an excellent school that prepares you for college, and helps you to establish meaningful relationships inside and outside of the classroom setting. Elk Rapids High School also has a variety of after school activities to be involved in, such as Robotics, Chamber Choir, and junior varsity and varsity sports.
