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.

Orville H. Platt high school has helped me find my way to college, and how to apply to college. I'm currently working with teachers to complete my college application and everybody has been so helpful through this past four years.

The best part of attending Platt high school is that i always felt safe in my school. I was not worry about going to school, especially after everything that has been happening in schools around the US. I think the administration did a good job of keeping us safe my 4 years i was there. The worst part i have to say was the food, i tried to eat some of the food at school but everything looks really gross. There were times i would go home early because i didn't want to eat any of the options they offered.

I think this is a wonderful school no matter what anyone says. School is school, and rules are rules. Sure we don't agree with them sometimes but if you really want to change something properly addressing it instead of constantly complaining would be a good way to go. Anyway no school is perfect, so...
