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.

Administration does not care about the students. If your child is having any problems with the teacher, they want to brush it under the rug. They blame it on the students. Even the counselors there are scared of losing their job. They don't have the students best interest first and foremost, all they care about is how they look from the outside.

Petoskey High School is a very cool place because they have so many opportunities, and everyone, no matter who you are, is supported.

My experience with Petoskey High School was very positive overall. I feel that this school placed a good amount of emphasis on college readiness while still uplifting students who did not plan on going to college. Always felt like a safe environment and teachers always there to talk to/help out.
