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.

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 High School experience at Sharpstown High School was great. This school is big and has a lot of different classes you can take like advanced classes to help with your high school credits and On Ramps classes for college credit. The best experience I had were the activities and sports they have where anyone can be able to join and meet other people and another great experience I had was the teachers I had for my classes they were great at teaching and helping me out when at times I needed help and the diversity of this school was great. The worst parts of my experience was the lunch here the food wasn't that great at times. I would like a change to be made on our lunch hours for lunch to be an hour and tutorials for after school.

Our school has a bad reputation with having a large case of obstructed instruction time due to events like frequent lockdowns that would reach for two class periods, lack of education readiness, and few people interested in the core subjects.

This is the worst school I have seen. I have 4 children and only 1 goes to this school because they wanted to be close to home. I met the principle 1 time this year and witnessed him being a bully to a student by shouting in his face. It was embarrassing for everyone to watch. The teachers give out...
