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.

I learned many things there, met many new people and experienced many different things that I probably won't get to see again. I enjoyed the adults I have met, the faces I have learned, and the things I have went through that has shaped me who I am today.

Shaker heights high school is en excellent high school in terms of preparing its students for success in college. In terms of academic resources, the school is outstanding. However, not all students in the shaker community have equal opportunity, and measures to ensure that the opportunities that shaker offers are distributed evenly would improve the school for all its students.
