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.

The experiences I have had while attended Prairie Heights High School, are as follows: great staff, supporting teachers and friends, an amazing place to make friends, and join sports. I would like to have more enforcers to those students who decide to make bad decisions such as fighting and smoking on school property. I would like the school to make punishments to those in order to have a successful year.

Prairie Heights is a great school o believe. It is definitely a smaller school maybe that is why is so good. With the smaller school teacher make a more personal connection with their students. I haven't had any bad experiences at this school. Other than maybe their lunch it can be hit or miss like all schools. I feel that the small school also brings the students together since their are less to worry about more of a family. With that can come it's downs such as in sports. We have a smaller student count. So it can be hard to put together a good team in a sport. The team is really close with each other. We just don't have the man power to win usually. I also would like to talk about are ag program we have one of the biggest school farms in those country. Where we have animals and crops. As well as their Is a good welding program with other agricultural activities. That is how I see Prairie height. Overall a great school with great teacher. Would recommend to anyone.
