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.

Howard is a good school. I came into Howard high school during COVID which made me virtual during my freshman year. I came in person at Howard when I was a sophomore in high school. Being virtual was the worst. I couldn't focus at all when I was virtual. The best part was not bothering my parents to drop me off. But when I came to school I really loved how every teacher was learning with us when we couldn't use pencil or paper. The worst thing was that I couldn't find a way to communicate with my teacher when I needed help with English. I want to change that they should have daily check up on students who struggle understanding English. But overall I really love my school. They provide so much safety for us. They should also give us make up days when we are behind on work. They also care about our academics a lot which I love. The things I love about the teachers they ask if we understand or not. Another thing I love is that if you don't understand they will come to you. Always !!

Howard High School is a fantastic place for my children. We left one of the local private schools about 3 years ago and could not be happier at Howard. The teachers care about the kids and do everything in their power to make the students successful. Mr. Adams and the administrators are fair to the...

I am a senior at Howard. I have gone to Howard all four years of my high school career. It is a great school and if I had to do it all over, I would choose Howard again.
