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 have been a student at Baxter Springs High School since May of 2017. For the short period of time I have been here o have overall had a good experience compared to other schools I have been to. I myself have recently been in the foster care system with KVC so I moved school many times. With most schools drugs and bad behaved kids. Here at Baxter that is not the case. The school here is very sufficient and clean. The school community is a good and safe place to be. Baxter Springs High School supports all activities that students are interesting in and encourage kids to do their best and do what they love. Which is the best type of school to be involved in.

I went to this school but moved due to the staff and faculty not doing anything about bullying.
