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.

Marissa sucks at security she does nothing but gossip with staff members only reason she been there for so long cause of her boyfriend MARK who is head of security, Marissa says the N word and makes fun of students/staff and treats her team like trash, not to mention she does favoritism and makes it known, Marissa does not know anything about security she only listens to admin, Marissa talks about all her security team and makes smart comments, SUCH A BAD LEAD

The safety of the school is a huge concern from not only the students but multiple members of the community. In efforts to keep everyone safe, I believe that the safety and level of concern for it must improve.

I started going to Prarie View High School starting early August 2024. I am a Freshman and so far it is overall good. It may not be the nicest school but once I am done learning I can play lacrosse.

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.
