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.

Throughout my High school experience there has been a mix of good and bad. I love my school and would rate the safety 100. Heidi Trask High school is a safe school and the crime is very low. However with the staff, I feel like some are just there for the paycheck, but we do have a few good teachers that make school worth going. Our clubs are ok but a lot of times during clubs, teachers don't take it serious so students just play around. Involvement with sports is great, everyone goes to the games and our spirit is high. Im glad I get to go to Trask, I met some great people there and will be sad to leave.

My experience at Heide Trask High School has been good ever since I enrolled in August of 2022. The staff have been friendly and have proved themselves to be a great source if I need help with my work or problems that are not related to school. The students at Heide Trask are very involved, especially when it comes to sports and school spirit. Our students support athletic events to the best of their ability and are always sure to keep up the good work in the classroom as well. Overall the environment of my high school is one that I am glad to be apart of.

I've got to say the best part of Heide Hrask is the staff and their JROTC program. The only bad thing I can really complain about is the student parking but I guess it just comes with the package.

My son was not an easy student (well behaved young man but he just hated school) but they never stopped helping and supporting him . He moved o...
