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.

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.

So, a teacher lit a fire on the desk. We were screaming and running around, we almost died. Luckily the fire department came, but it took them like an hour to get here so we all sustained severe injuries. Mostily our vocal chords were damaged from all the screaming. Yeah, peotone is pretty cool. :D

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.

So many opportunities for clubs, activities, and sports because of it being a small school. I've been involved as class president for four years and have had many opportunities and experiences because of it. The theater and music programs are amazing as well as show choir. The teachers really care and create personal relationships with their students since the school is so small.

This school specializes in one thing, not sports or academics, but it specializes in a very strong school enforced social heirarchy. The leaders of the school make sure their kids get the highest honors, especially spots on varsity sports or entrance into the valor victorian race even though they ha...

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. It was so COLD in the winter. and HOT in the summer. The parking lot dosent have security cameras, even though y...
