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.

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 believe that Payette High School is a school that is in a state of transition. While my beginning years of high school were rough, my later years surely made up for it. Overall the community, culture, and education are all climbing towards a brighter future.

I love the staff! They are all amazing and helpful. They are always there to lend a helping hand when needed! One thing I wish would change is the school breakfast. Many kids rely on the breakfast and it is really poorly made.

It's a pretty good high school. The food is okay we have a pretty good sports system though. Most the teachers are really good there's just a few that don't know how to teach. Overall I would recommend over other high schools.

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...
