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 enjoy going to Nixa High School. The faculty and students are great. The faculty accepts everyone for who they are. The teachers work with students to make sure that everyone understands the concepts that is being taught.

We were rated top in the state and had one of the best football teams around. Everyone is always very supportive from the community to the parents. I will always treasure my memories.

I moved to Nixa when I started my freshman year. I immediately became involved in out theater which I flourished in. People immediately accepted me for who I am. This was very different from my previous school. I am a young, gay, male and that is very frowned upon where I moved from. It has been such a wonderful four years and I will always treasure my time at Nixa.

It’s the first year at Nixa High School and it has been great thusfar. The teachers are very engaged with my child. They go above and beyond to ensure his needs are met. The student body has been friendly and welcoming to a new student.

Overall, Nixa teachers are fairly reasonable and are generally willing to work with students. Some issues with individual teachers, but for the most part, some great teachers and great students. Absence policies could use work, as could a couple others, but truly not a bad experience.
