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.

Courtland is a wonderful school that has lots of activities nd clubs. The academics are fantastic and there are staff that's always willing to lend a hand. They have tutoring for us to take advantage of.

Overall experience was fine. The environment was diverse and most of the teachers were agreeable. I would have liked to have a better experience in my first year Biology class. The teacher was quite discouraging.

My over all experience was fine. All high school experiences are different but for me personally it's nothing to brag about. I am in mostly advanced classes so my in class experience is different from the normal. There is minimal bullying and plenty of discussions on a variety of subjects but most of the time not pertaining to what is going on in class. In bathrooms there is almost always someone vaping but mostly during breaks like before class starts and lunch. During those times it's like there is a cloud in the bathroom. Some of the best of the school is after school activities I personally love theater. But some of the worst is usually involving school spirit students tend to act a bit hostile at times. Fights at the school are frequent so it's best to try to avoid them. There is little discrimination but one there is it is taken very seriously mostly by students. I don't see how the faculty respond to discrimination though. But the diversity could definitely use some work.

This school stinks if you have kids in need of special help. No child should be left begging for a 504 plan when it is so blatantly obvious a child has a learning disability.

I'm a junior at Courtland High School and I have to say that I enjoy it more every year. The fine arts program is amazing and fun and the academic side of school isn't too bad either. Yes I've had bad teachers, but there are also many fantastic teachers who truly care about each and every student. I...
