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 loved my time at Paola High School. I was remote as a freshman due to Covid but have been in person ever since. With being a senior I have needed the help of my counselor to help guide me and show me what I need to get done and prepared for my time in college. I have been accepted into Pitt State and have had the help and guidance that I need from my high school counselor.

While Attending Paola High, I loved how everyone knew each other since it is in a small town, and how the whole school always comes together to support the sports teams and athletes. It is a school that really cares about it's athletes which is amazing, but could also use some focus in other places.

As a student attending Paola High School, I love seeing all the different ways our school gets involved. As a kid in the band, it is amazing seeing all the support we get at all of our performances. The school has started to tackle the issue of teen suicide awareness. As someone who has worked hard to try to get this talked about, this made me overjoyed. I am extremely grateful for all of the amazing opportunities Paola High School has had to offer me in the past two years. I am looking forward to the next 2 and a half years I have left at Paola High School.
