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.

Short and Short, a school is a school so whether you hate or love it, it's up to you to turn those opportunities into good memories. In my opinion, kids are annoying but find a good person or two and stick besides them, don't let your grades slip, and be active. Overall, I enjoyed my years.

Spencer is a fairly nice school, the few problems are definitely some of the teachers. A lot of times it feels like they give you a hard time for fun and don't actually care about you. Other teachers do seem to actually care about you and your improvement though.

I like spencer high School, it helped me raise my grades up so much. I get AB honor roll now, I was at Carver high School with decent grades. Spencer taught me a lot of things.

Literally choose any other HS except this one the new principal picks favorites and doesn’t help anyone except for the kids she likes. Absolutely unprofessional how ridiculous they act and the stuff that they let go on there.

He was so excited about high school, then to be bullied his first year, this makes children drop out, especially when you have no help from teachers or principal. Muscogee county should be ashamed. we need better for our children.
