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 gone to Palatka High School my entire high school career. There have been many highs and lows throughout these four years. Most of my experiences have been positive. The teachers have thoroughly taught me the curriculum of the subject along with exhibiting kindness to me during class. Although, the facility is not as fancy and clean as it could be, it is sufficient enough for me to learn in.

There are a few snooty teachers there, but for the most part a lot seem to care about whether or not their students pass and are willing to make an effort to help the student. A lot of those who talk bad about it are the ones who don't put in effort and tend to...
