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.

Great experience here, academics and all are great but sexual assault issues between students are continuously swept under the rug.

I like that every teacher I have had, has made me feel comfortable and safe to be in their classrooms. Whenever you needed help, you could easily ask, and they would provide the help that was necessary. There isn't really anything I would change, I have had a very good experience at this school.

When you walk into the front office...

There is a huge drug problem at this school. All anybody seems to care about here is drugs! Eliot is a wonderful town to live in and all of the other schools in the district were great, but the High school is Insane! Frankly, I can't wait until I graduate so I never have to visit that place again.
