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.

Beautiful campus, amazing programs, opportunities and classes. Overall the teachers and staff I've gotten alone with. Maybe just more club collaboration, helping eachother out more, and maybe more discipline on the students

The best part is that there are lots of resources they have on campus and they always try to set you up for success even if you're not sure what we you wanna do right now.

Peoria High School is an overall good school. My teachers have challenged me and I have learned a lot, but my high school experience was more than just books and work. The environment at PHS is very fun and there is always something going on. Our Performing Arts programs are amazing, especially our award-winning band. Our basketball team is amazing and we have many supporters at every game. Lastly, there is long-lasting tradition at PHS. It truly is going to leave a big mark on my life and everyone who goes there.

In this past school year there has been favoritism shown by a teacher that was left completely unchecked and a student lived with another teacher apart from parents. That student w...
