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.

Many of the parents are out helping the students get involved in things and can tend to be like parents to all the other kids.

I feel like my school has a lot of polices but we don't really use them. We don't ever have to bring them up. If anybody is having trouble with another student you can talk to any staff member and they will take care of it. Our counselor is very helpful with everything. She helps with home problems, school problems, and whatever else you need.

Our Sparta school system wastes taxpayer money and it is in a very steep decline.

Poor test scores that point larger problems. If you dig into these scores you can see a pattern of decline.

I believe that there are favorites and that drug testing should be for all student athletes not just the same ones who pass.
