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.

What I like most about Elkins High School is the fine arts classes especially theatre out of all the other Fine Arts because in theatre everyone is really friendly to talk to and you feel like your part of a team. You can collaborate with them whether you are a Crew member and working backstage or a Cast member where you are acting in the play. Theatre in Elkins is the one class I have really enjoyed so far because I like collaborating with others and it has made me open up more especially because I am very introverted and shy. I would like to see a change in the way we learn in class and make it more engaging and at the same time interested to learn.

I have 2 sons attending Elkins one of which attends the Engineering Academy and one who does not. This school is an excellent school if the student puts in their own efforts and parent involvement is active, there should be no issue with achieving academic success. Kids here have access to several c...
