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.

The overall student involvement could be improved along with improvements from the admin. I would like to see more ways to get kids involved.

They don's listen to the students or the parents. They do very minimum repair work at the school in hopes that a new one will be built, which they got denied for. In winter time, the heaters rarely work and the ac will actually turn on randomly. If we get a lot of heavy rain, the hallway leading to the cafeteria will flood. I just want the higher up staff to actually let students and parents be involved in the changes they want to make, and to also have the school fixed. The middle school got a new parking lot, when there was barely any damage to it, but the high school has so many pot holes, and pieces of the road missing, and they refuse to fix that.

My experience at Payette High School has been amazing. The teachers have made me feel comfortable at the school, while still pushing me to further my education. I have seen an abundance of kindness from all the students as well as the staff.

The school lacks minor organizational skills , but other than that, seems to be a really good school. Unlike its neighbors (Fruitland), education is first and sports come second. My child very much enjoys attending Payette High. It was a, "hands down" great move from the school she attended in the p...

Payette School District does a wonderful job of preparing students for the future. I have had 5 children graduate from Payette School District. My oldest two children scored 34 and 36 on their ACT exams and then went on to graduate in the top 5% of their class at Boise State University. One of my ch...
