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.

My experience with Booker T Washington High School has been great as a parent. My daughter Jazlyn is excelling in all of her academics. She's able to balance sports and academics. She's a varsity cheerleader and has been cheering all four years during High School. She has joined several clubs and organizations. Her teachers all have good things to say about her. The worst part of experience I have had as a parent is communication with some of the faculty. The only thing I think they need to work on is communicating within a timely manner.

In my opinion, my school is an okay school. It's not the best school but it's also not a bad school, I just wish the school was cleaned better along with wishing the teachers could teach better.

Going downhill, I know a lot of other parents are pulling their kids out and sending them to private school. I predict in a decade or less the school will be an F school and they will have to implement another emergency measure a la IB at PHS. Don't come here if you're going to be something. All the...
