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.

There is only one district in this town so I've grown up with the school and people around me. In terms of diversity, there isn't much. Most students are White or Hispanic, and growing up here being one of the only biracial (Black and Asian) kids, I've always seen the lack of diversity. We are a very agriculture based town, so there are a lot of Agriculture based opportunities available at Pierce High School. However, I have been enjoying seeing the growth in the Art and Music programs.
