Phenomenal teaching staff that truly cares about your child and their success. A huge selection of classes to choose from, many offering hands on fun learning activities and college credit courses available as well. Great communication between teachers and administration regarding any updates and events. Amazing facilities including a beautiful football stadium, baseball fields, gorgeous gym & auditorium. A plethora of extra curricular activities and sports to choose from, there’s really something for everyone. A ton of resources and opportunities ranging from mental health services and guidance, to jobs and volunteer work. Very pleased with this school system and everything they have to offer.

I moved my girls to Sparta, one was a Sophomore and the other a 8th grader. This has been a great experience for both my girls and myself. My Sophomore was barely passing, to C’s or above. My younger daughter now a Sophomore, is thriving. Best decision I made.

Our family moved from the North View school district (Amazing) to the Sparta school district. (Even more amazing) The teachers and administration are outstanding! The faculty truly try to discover each student's individual talents and capitalize on those talents. The focus is on learning, building self-esteem and fostering an acceptance of each other. Our family moved in the middle of the school year, a sometimes tough transition point. Fellow students and teachers made my boys feel at home very quickly. The level of communication from school to home, is by far the best that I have ever experienced. We had the option to choose Rockford Public through the school of choice program. We will not be pursuing this option. Rockford does have a great program, but my wife and I have been blown away by the highly talented teachers and focused leadership at Sparta schools. A smaller school also gives our boys the ability to be more active in extracurricular activities like football, baseball, band etc.. The larger the school the more challenging it can be to qualify for an active spot in almost everything. Sparta is running a well designed student and parent friendly program!

This is a good quality school. I love the small town values and teachers who truly love their job. I think that Sparta should offer more advanced and AP classes. The more advanced classes should start at an earlier age to allow kids to get the most of their K-12 experience and be better prepared for college. I love this school. My husband and I both graduated from Sparta and we have chosen to send our kids there as well.
