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.

Administration is supportive and concerned for each student. They are always willing to lend a listening ear for parents, staff, and students. Each teacher my child has encountered has helped her growth as a student. I am pleased with my child's experience at Varner.
