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.

We do not have enough teachers, and the teachers we do have do not care about the student. Some of the teachers are great, but most are not. This school gives you no opportunities.

Petersburg High School is a great school--wonderful teachers and staff who double as educators and friends. It is a welcoming environment to be in and the Viking pride is known at all times.

I've went to Petersburg High School since I was in the seventh grade. My experience with my public school has been nothing less then I expected. The staff their are always willing to help in anyway possible, and also extremely friendly. One thing in years to come I would like to see change is the food. I understand it is partially not the cooks fault because they have to follow state guild lines. I would like to see more variety in the food they serve.

Teachers are bullies. When reported. Nothing gets done because of the tenure. They focus more on sports then on learning.

Petersburg High School is disgusting. I graduated from this school, and went into college totally unprepared and dumbfounded. Most of the children will never leave the county, and are ignorant to the world around them. Most of the teachers try hard, but things that they are doing are, in fact, not h...
