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 had an amazing experience attending Nixa High School. The most exciting part of my high school year is right now. We have an amazing football team and we are hoping to keep moving on and win state, which we have a really good shot to do. This year is so much more special because I actually have an impact and am a full-time starter now. My least favorite part of high school was my junior year. For some reason, I decided it would be a good idea to jam all my hard classes into one year and it was a lot. Now that it is senior year I am so glad that I took them last year. However, It was very difficult for the entire year.

Terrible approach at issues, several teachers are lacking effective methods of learning (The whole point of school) and instead prefer to give piles of homework each night, they ignore people asking for help and put you down for not being caught up or being confused. The last time I had a good learn...

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.
