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.

It's a good school for academics and college readiness. They have an amazing staff and admin. They also have great STEM and counseling resources. Mental health resources, lunch, and safety could use some improvement.

Prairie View High School is a very diverse high school that has introduced me to many different cultures. There are many students who come from different backgrounds. All my classes had very different people who i was able to talk to and get to know. If you are shy there are also different clubs you can join to get more people and involve yourself in different environments.

My child feels welcomed in the building and enjoys classes. Only issue is that counselors value large, poorly planned meetings over students needs, specifically regarding concurrent enrollment.
