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.

It definitely wasn't as bad an experience as people make middle school out to be, however it wasn't great either, Elko was just in the middle of sucky and okay. It didn't have a lot of fights but it did have some, and the school dances weren't terrible. Just an average school.

Elko Middle School has a lot of potential. When the school first opened, it was an incredible school that had lots of accolades.

I wouldn't recommend this school to anyone unless the school changes.

This school is not preparing our children for the future. Impress upon them a college education and what it takes to get it. Also, show them that there are consequences for their actions, good or bad.
