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.

Overall Cushing High School is a pretty good school. There are plenty of resources for all students. I wish they would put more money into other sports; It just seems like football typically gets all the recognition when other sports should be able to as well. The school is always clean, and they recently installed new safety features which is amazing but at times can be a pain.

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 loved my time there so much. There are really friendly teachers that help you in anyway to succeed. The principle also really cares about everyone at the school and would do anything to help you.

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...

Both of my daughters have gone to school at CPS for the majority of their school career. CPS has the benefit of having many options as far as electives go but with a small town feel. Every teacher my kids have had have been caring and have inspired them both to do their best and reach high. I highly...

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...
