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.

The best part of my experience at Peabody Magnet High,was being able to have new oppurtunities, make new connections and further my education while getting to enjoy the culture. Considering I do go to a predominantly "black school" we do get overlooked in every aspect.The change that I would like to see is us being recognized by our school board when it comes to the great things things happening here. And renovations for certain areas of the school.

My experiences at Peabody so far have been amazing. The first day of freshman year was so fun. we were welcomed with opened arms from the administration and the senior class. we learned the alma mater and the famous Peabody shuffle. We toured the school to me our teachers and got a chance to see what extra after school activities they had to offer. I did power lifting my freshman and I liked it for the most part but that's not where my heart was. Later down the line I decided to do band. Peabody is very famous for their band program as well as their basketball program. Peabody is just a place that you have to experience for yourself to see exactly what I'm talking about.
