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 really liked the academy's that I was able to participate in. I was a member of the Pope Stem Academy and I was able to go on great field trips and learn more about Stem related careers.

Needs better administration. Very poor quality lunches. Large vape epidemic. Good academics, mostly outstanding teachers, great basketball, atrocious football record. Good variety of sports. Good amount of AP classes. Bad traffic, poor parking situation. Roaches throughout the school.

We have had some antisemitism in the past which has made national news. I felt scared when I found out. That was probably the worst part. The best part would be the experience as a member of the Marching Band.

Zero. Every year we regret not switching to private or going the Magnet route. It’s shocking Pope is so highly rated. Also those high SAT ACT scores are mostly due to tutoring or significant efforts at home. We can’t wait to be out of Pope!
