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.

I really like the environment at Bassett High School. I have never seen or experienced any bullying first hand while there. The majority of teachers at Bassett are kind, helpful, and speak to you as an equal. The food isn't very good, but the lunch staff is fairly friendly. There are many clubs, organizations, and sports you can be a part of.
