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.

The best part of my experience in Paulding County High School is how friendly and kind everyone is, and how willing students are in helping people. The worst part, though, is the struggle with accessibility since the building's a bit too old to have been made the most wheelchair accessible place, especially with doors.

I just wish the school got out there a bit more. Our school is very basic and doesn't really allow too much room for creativity and new ideas.
