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.

Paintsville High School is a good school with a lot of good academic opportunities. I see the school improving this year, we got a new teacher and her classes are very enjoyable. I heard that next year we will have a culinary class and an ASL class, I think that will give the school a lot of improvements. One thing about our school is is shows a lot of favoritism to different students, essentially ones who play sports. I feel with this its harder to have an equal education throughout the school.

I have been at this school for all four years of my high school career. It's a very small school where everyone knows everyone, and you feel very safe walking down the halls. I grew up in the Paintsville Independent School system and I am extremely glad that I did because it shaped me into the person I am today.

We offer the basic athletic and academic teams that you will find any other school across the nation. However, I find great pride in knowing that students can create their own groups and organizations for themselves and their friends that tend to a special interest they share.
