During my time at cushing highschool the staff would always make you feel welcome and would always try to improve you in some way. I love the family dynamic where you'll always have someone there for you and someone to talk to wether it be a teacher or other staff member. I've loved my time at this school and the only thing i'd improve is maybe including all sports during pep assemblies because not all the sports get the recognition they deserve.

I have had a great experience at Cushing High School. I transferred to Cushing my freshmen year. I was very nervous to attend a new school coming from a neighboring rival school. Everyone has been super nice and very supportive.

This site is sort of like restaurant or hotel ranking sites. Heavily populated with people who have complaints, legitimate or otherwise. People are far more likely to go out of their way to publicly complain than praise. I've looked for a site based on actual hard data but have only found one or two...

I am sorry that my child had to attend this school. At the time there was not a site like this to let me know where it ranked. I knew it was a disaster because during the time my child attended I had to threaten them on numerous occasions to get them to do there job. They never let a teacher go no m...
