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.

Sprayberry is a great school that is often overlooked. While there are flaws, there are many great teachers and students that make it a wonderful place to be. The arts department has a lot of talent but is sadly underfunded, and the STEM program has won several awards. With some more funding and attention from the district, it could be a top high school in the area

Sprayberry is a very diverse school and has an amazing environment for students to learn and start friendships with not only students but teachers as well.

Sprayberry has been the best high school experience I could ask for. The people I've met and the teachers and staff I get to be with every day makes me excited to get up and go to school. The block schedule makes it so much easier to study and focus on my classes. Overall its and amazing school, and Im honestly sad this is my last year.

As a student of Sprayberry (2022 class) I can honestly say that this school is amazing. The people and staff there are kind and always look out for one another. This school has a lot less of a "judge-y atmosphere" that you would typically see at Lassiter, Kell, Pope, etc. Everyone is welcome and the...
