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.

Ellington High School has a wide range of interesting courses such as half year English and history classes. These enriched my experience at EHS. In addition, I enjoyed having the opportunity to participate in a Co-op swim team where I met many of my closest friends. Overall Ellington High School gave me a good high school experience.
