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.

I'm currently a junior at Overton and i'm really enjoying myself there. There are so many opportunities and resources available for you to be successful. We have plenty of cool programs like the Health Science pathway, Computer Sciences, or even Criminal Justice. I've had amazing teachers every year since i've been here. I just wish our staff was a little more accomadating and understanding.

Upon being in John Overton Comprehensive High school for all four years the only thing that I'd like for the school to change is the certain amount of AP/honors courses they give as there are a select few and not enough for the vast majority of majors the students want to learn more about.
