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.

I've been a Joshua ISD student for most of my life now, and honestly, I'm proud to call myself a Joshua Owl. Sure, many students will point fingers at the higher ups for adding a new rule each year that limits what they wear (even though I've seen a lot of students who warrant these rules being made) and last year, some major announcements I never heard until close to the date of the event, but overall, I still like this school and this district. It has what I need education wise, and the staff has helped me learn these subjects the best way I can.

The superintendent is a poor leader (former elementary principal who is a micro manager) and the principals have no backbone. The Athletic Director pretty much runs the entire district, makes more than the superintendent (if that tells you anything) and the good teachers leave after a year or two be...
