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.

The best part of my experience at Schurr High School was their music program, Spartan Legion. Best years of my life. The worst part of attending Schurr is accepting the fact I will soon depart from this memorable school.

The school has its pros and its cons. I love the atmosphere that they give when its game days. The school is a bit outdated so id be great to see it improve. The food as a whole different level of just something i wouldnt eat. No hate to the lunch ladies though, i love them they are so kind. Some teachers are just great that id wish to get. I also think they should do some background checks on some of them based on recent events.

The teachers and staff are great. They care about the students and are quick to act when there is a concern for our safety. The food could be better but it is not the worse.
