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.

Veterans Memorial has an amazing football team and a variety of different sports and extracurriculars. Like all schools, all of them have good and bad teachers but I'm positive you'll find one you can connect with. That being said their security could use some work and there have been more than a few fights between the students, they can be a little laid back with their rules often following them for up to a week and discarding them a while later.

My experience in Veterans Memorial High school has sure been a rollercoaster. My first two years of high school were really quick and easy to me. My last two years felt very real. I felt like time was slipping away from my fingers and I was growing up. The school has made me feel so welcome and safe to get ready to go into the real world while preparing me.

Classes offered are horrible not to mention the counselor's don't serve of much help. Management with pretty much anything (classes, schedule, fights,etc.) is horrib...
