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.

There seems to be a disparity in the focus of attention given to the curricula of AP classes and on-level/honors classes. From what I've seen and heard non-AP classes are treated as less important, and sometimes haphazardly taught. That said students are some of the most diverse in the county, which helps people become far more well-adjusted than in an environment without that diversity.

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...
