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.

My time at this high school was so fun. Made memories and many friends along the way. It was really fun growing up in a small town where everyone knew each other and my class was pretty close.

My overall experience at Shelton High School was great. I made great friendships stepped out my comfort zone, and I made good relationships with the teachers and they made me feel like I could tell them anything.

Shelton High school, is very underfunded. Don't get me wrong, a lot of the teachers are sweet but everyone lacks school spirit. I would've loved to attend a school who involves and encouraged their students to participate in fun activities but Shelton high school never really does anything fun to make the school life enjoyable.

I am a parent. I have two children that graduated from SHS and went on to do very well in college. I have two children, a senior and junior, who are currently enrolled there. It's not a perfect school. It's not a wealthy community, and many of the students come from tough backgrounds. But for the mo...

Shelton High is in a very poor town and it is a very poor school. the facilities are falling apart. The school needs to be rebuilt. As a former student, I took the hardest classes offered. Honors classes were a joke. They handed out good grades and gave very easy assignments. The course catalog clai...
