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.

Surry High School could use improvements in academics and athletics. The school as a whole was a decent school to attend. However, there could be more options for classes and sports. Some of the facilities need upgrades including the sports fields.

My experience was enjoyable. I had ups and downs but for the most part it was a fun experience. The best parts was cheering for basketball and football and spending time with my friends. The worst parts included Covid year. It was tough being at home at first. I am going to miss some of my teachers but not so much the school.

I recently graduated from Surry County High School 17 days ago. The teachers were very kind and blunt. However, I did not enjoy school because of the work. I enjoyed it because the people were in there. Throughout the technically two and a half years due to covid, I remained with the same individuals I grew up with. The guidance counselor, Ms.Mary Johnson was my life saver. She kept me sane, humble, and positive throughout the whole process. I enjoyed this high school journey.
