GreatSchools Rating
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.

It is a pretty average high school. Many of the teachers are kind and always willing to help. There are always a few teachers who were not very helpful.

I enjoy the faculty in this building. They have helped me grow, learn, and mature into who I am today. All the students are very nice and fun to be around. I never have had an issue within this school. I have enjoyed my time here, and it really was a nice place to learn.

The teachers at Peotone High School are great; they help their students prepare for the future. I never felt unsafe at school. I feel that the variety of classes offered could be better, especially in the foreign language department. Overall, I think Peotone High School provided me with enough experience and knowledge to prepare me for life past high school.

They did nothing to prevent bullying. I would wait 20-25min in the lunch line, pay full price for a lunch, and they wouldn't give me the full lunch I payed for. I would be hungry all day.
