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 have been attending Priceville schools since 5th grade. At first, I did not like it that much because I was the new girl at school and nobody knew me, but once I talked to people they seemed nice. When 7th grade rolled around, I found my people. I found a group of girls that I knew that I would be spending my time with throughout Junior High and High School. The teachers were/are super sweet and understanding with certain things. They push hard enough that I do our best's but not too hard to the point that I wanted to give up. The staff are amazing at the High School and they are always super sweet. I would recommend Priceville High School to anyone who is looking for a new start.

First of all, the dress code is definitely sexist. It favors the boys over the girls. Secondly, students can expect to be treated differently based on if their parents don't pay the school or if they aren't a key player in a sports team. Lastly, they do little to nothing about issues and usually just say what they can to get the parents to not be involved. If they do take action, it's usually just ISS.

I have been here for around 12 years, and overall, it is a great school. The students are highly involved in academics, sports, and other school organizations. Mostly, the teachers and faculty are accommodating in and out of the classroom. Sometimes the students can be rowdy and uncontrolled with a supervisor present, but overall it is a great learning environment.

PHS has really turned the corner in the last 10 years. I’ve had several of my children attend this school and the academic and athletic direction it has headed in has been tremendous.

This school used to be okay but has recently went majorly downhill. Being s teenager is already hard enough without being bullied and treated poorly by teachers and administrators. The board of education is also at fault for this for allowing and encouraging this kind of behavior. How can a school b...
