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.

In my overall experience of being an alumni from Pettus Secondary School, I have come to conclusion that it is a great school for 6th-12th graders. The school helps become who they want to be and prepares them for the future.

I would like to see our discipline system improve. Too many kids got off the hook too easily when they didn't deserve it. I want to see more inclusive options for students with disabilities, and I want them to be able to receive the help and support they are in need of.

Pettus Secondary is a pretty average school. Our school has been remodeled but our faculty and could use a change as well. Pettus secondary really isn't preparing kids for college. Teachers teach at the bare minimum and act like high school students themselves. One of the good things is that because Pettus is so small everyone knows everyone and it's easy to make friends and fit in.
