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.

Homewood Flossmoor High school has far surpassed my expectations over the past 4 years. My son is doing awesome because of the support and resources provided by this school.

School offers a lot for students academically as well as extra-curriculars. The Administration could be more supportive of the arts and the school needs better protections for students that are bullied.

I've had the most caring and genuine teachers that truly enjoy teaching, which makes learning more fun and the work more understandable. The student body is also close-knit and very creative, giving people a chance, like myself, to be inspired by their peers.
