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 experience in Sterling Heights high school has been mediocre. It's an okay school. Nothing much special about it.

Sterling Heights High School has many terrible teachers and ur grades mainly depend on if you have nice teachers or not and that's the sad part about all of it, it has nothing to do with your knowledge of the class it's more so the teachers trying to punish you for their childhood trauma.

We all know some people will complain about everything. But all I've seen is so far so good.
