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.

I have been to a lot of different schools in Missouri and I will say, NHS has amazing resources for the region we are in. Also with the NRTC providing job prep for not only Nevada but surrounding school. A nice change in my opinion would be the ability to get above a 4.0, even though I'm not a 4.0 student it would be something great to strive for.

Nevada High School as a small school in Southwest Missouri, is a pretty good quality school. The elementary upbringing is amazing and cheerful, and the teachers are all decently polite people. I enjoyed growing up in a school with lots of school spirit and a happy environment. The only thing that I wish would improve with Nevada High School is the amount of prep we have for the real world. I am a senior in high school, yet I am terrified for my upcoming years. We need to find ways to teach students the high school information but add the things we will be using in the future. I honestly feel very unprepared to figure college out, pay my bills, and do my taxes. I don't think this school is the only one with that problem. It may not be just a problem at NHS, it could be everywhere.

My experience at Nevada High School has overall been positive. Things that could be looked into is teachers they hire.

Everything goes. I have never seen any repercussions for any sort of failure or harassments. They do not care if you learn, they simply will have you graduate no matter what.

Always had a good experience with all of my dealings with the high school. Easy to talk to teachers and administrators. When an issue arose teachers, counselors, and administrators help work it out.

My son moved here and has had horrible scores on his tests, he was a straight A student before.

Lack of books and forced military testing on students. I feel the school has no regard for the opinions of parents and does things underhandedly. It is also near impossible to speak to superintendents; the buck pretty much stops with the principal.
