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.

Pecos High School is very average at pretty much everything, other than sports. Academics can be improved, but they're getting better. Pecos is a small town so there is a small group of people with little diversity. Most teachers do they're best to prepare the students for long term goals. After the Gear-Up program has been discontinued there is a small college readiness. There are maybe five clubs and activities at the school.

The teachers at this school are nice and helpful when it comes down to it, but they are not strict when it comes to what you are doing in the classroom. Also, I would have liked to learn more about everyday skills that I need to know. Most of what they taught us were things we would need to know for PARCC exams.
