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 Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

While it was a good school, I feel as though some opportunities that other schools have were not available. This might be due to the town surrounding the school is smaller, however many opportunities were not given. That being said I did have some opportunities to work with the people of Payson which was beneficial.
Unlike big city schools, Payson HS offers a smaller, more personalized high school experience. The school is very proud of their sports, FFA, and the Drama department. Student involvement is good. There is a real focus on GPA's, especially of their athletes. Overall, good experience.

"Hey we need more gear for football, only 5,000 dollars!" Answer; Yes! It's just, I don't know if learning is a main focus anymore of t...
