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.

Great Falls High School is a pleasant little school. Word gets around quickly. The only thing I would change for the best are the number of fights that happen almost every other day. Overall the school is pleasant and very bustling with excitement. I give it a 9/10 because of how many fights there are.

I went to school here. Was not prepared for college. Didn’t know Spanish at all. My math skills were below what they were suppose to be. In college, I felt dumb because I didn’t know what I should’ve known.
