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.

School is decent, in comparison to others in the county. There are some really great teachers but teacher quality is inconsistent throughout grades and subjects. Administration has had many complaints likely due to the 3 different principals in four years.

You develop into the person you are in high school. I have many wonderful memories both good and bad so of which i will carry with me for the rest of my life. My high school experience at 71st has influenced my personal growth both inside and out of the classroom by encouraging me to attend college and achieve my own objectives, making me more independent, helping me make better friends choices, and more.
