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.

Howell High School is very fun if you join clubs and make friends (at the least school friends). AP classes can be very hard, especially if you're doing multiple at a time. For me, APUSH was easy, but AP Bio was hard because it didn't click. Most of the teachers are very nice and actually help you when you're stuck.

I started high school during covid and the adjustment to online learning was smooth and the return back with masks was even better. I have had some great teachers and met some good people.
