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 personally had a great high school experience ever since sophomore year. My freshman year COVID-19 was a big concern and I had to do online learning, although it was more comfortable I like in person learning better. My sophomore year I joined tennis and had a great time with my team. My junior and senior year I participated more in my culinary classes and learned new tips and tricks for cooking and baking.

My experience overall in New Caney High School was pretty good. I had a lot of caring teachers who always supported me and helped me when I needed it and I know I will miss them once I graduate. I made a couple of friends and I had fun in some of the extracurricular activities around the school that I attended and made great memories in. In the future I know when I'll look back into my high school years I would definitely have a good image full of awesome memories in that time in my life.

I am currently getting singled out by a teacher (yes teacher bullying is a thing). I asked the teacher to help me mutiple times and she flat out ignored me infront of everyone. I started crying and when she noticed me crying she told me to “stop complaining” so I told the counselor and she did nothi...

Beware If Your Child Likes Art, There Isn't Enough Supplies That The School Provides Very Limited Amount. It Seems To Me They Want To Get Rid Of Art Or Any Classes Pertaining To It Because They Don't Have Anything For The Kids In Art. Check It Out & See For Yourself. I'm Very DISGUSTED about All Thi...
