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.

The best experience that i had with the school is the resources they have for testing and the bad experience i had was the bad teaching and not having enough teachers provided for the school. Its easy access to get in and out of the school.

Hattiesburg High School has really gone downhill since I graduated from there back in 1987. I would question of these percentages of math scores because I know that those results have a chance of being fixed.
