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.

My four years at Horn Lake High has been a ride. The teachers, admin, and counselors do care but they get overwhelmed frequently which often leads to students having to wait or figuring the issue on their own. The clubs are wonderful and are often an escape for a lot of students. Horn lake does offer qualifying students duel enrollment for free, which is nice.

This high school sets all of their students up to succeed in both education and life skills. As a student, I was able to take multiple duel-credit courses without needing to pay a dime. I was also able to experience the thrills of going on trips with the various clubs and organiztions I participate in. I am very thankful for the experiences this school has given me.

Terrible experience. Not very cohesive and stoic. Overall just not a very good school in general. Would I ever refer new students there? Why of course not. Some staff/ attendee's and principal's should not be working there at all. Education wise on the other hand, very basic/ bottom tier level. Over...

Horn Lake High School, for me, was a great place to receive a quality education when I attended. They offered challenging courses (much more challenging than the local community college), numerous extracurricular activities, and a few courses you couldn't find anywhere else at the time (i.e. Robotic...
