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.

My experience in Sam Rayburn High School has been great due to the Early College program. I am currently in that program and believe it is a great opportunity to get a free associates degree. The teacher in that program and very supportive and amazing teachers that you can depend and rely on.
