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 feel that my overall experience with Jewel M. Sumner High School was outstanding. I am currently still in my senior year but every year so far has been amazing. The teachers here care about you as a person not only a student which makes me feel comfortable and welcomed at this school. I also got to participate in playing for our baseball team, supporting our football team at games, and learned a lot about life along the way. I wouldn't have chosen to go to any other school because of how great these 4 years have been for me.

This school could ahev great potential but the lack of care there is for the students makes me not recommend this school ever to anyone.
