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.

Sterling High has students of all types, with a variety of interests. Due to this, there is a large variety of clubs, classes, and extracurriculars that appeal to all different interests. Sterling High has a great athletic program with coaches who care about your performance on and off the field/court. There are teachers who are open to talk to students one-on-one and create a safe environment.

I like the different opportunities Sterling High School has. The teachers at Sterling High School are okay. One major thing I would change would be how long the lunch is. Instead of 40 minutes I would prefer an hour.
