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 wouldn't say my experience at Commerce High School has been all bad, but the education part of it has been. I'm considered a "smart kid", but I just do my work. It's easy to pass classes because I feel like the teachers never push kids to think and learn. Most of the work is just so they can put grades in the grade book. I do have to say the staff is very nice and helpful. We do a lot of activities as a school and have plenty of clubs.

There are very few things that I can write positively about Commerce High School. To me the highlight of the school are a few of the teachers who are there only for the students. Because they really do care about the students. The few that do care are willing to help the student even if it means tutoring on the weekends or even just moving the test by a day so the students have extra time to study. To me this is the best part about Commerce HIgh School. One way to improve the school would have to better funding and finding and hiring teachers who actually care about teaching the students. Since there are a few teachers who just don't care and make the learning experience horrible for students who have to take their classes. That is how I would like the school to be improved.

There is plenty of extracurricular activities to partake but a lot of students do not participate in them. Mostly they can be fun but they do not always have something going on after school. A lot of the times the students are very lacking in participating in things, that take up their free time.

A lot has changed since that 2006 review. If you're not on a sports team, you don't matter to the administration at this school. They let far too many students slip through the cracks because they don't step in and do what needs to be done for an individual. In my opinion, you know when a student is...
