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 transferred to Paxton in the eighth grade and stayed their up until my senior year. The students were rather friendly, and the teachers were helpful. It was clear that every student intended for every student to pass and offered as much help as they could to see to it. I heavily recommend this school if you are considering it.

I appreciate that everyone knows everybody.. I dont favor how there are not many opportunities for millenials to prosper in life. There are no job opportunities unless you are 18 years of age.. and not many school choices. There is only one school choice in Paxton, Fl.

The extracurricular opportunities are quite poor in my opinion. We have key club, national honors society, chess club, and math club. Coming from a small school is great but the funding isn't all that great. I personally wish we could have more clubs for students who take interest in other things, for example, an art club or a home economics club.
