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.

Pierce Junior/Senior High School has teachers that care about you and your, but it is apparent that some teachers and administrators care more about sports and testing and how they compare to other schools than they care about their students. They don't allow the students to learn at their own pace.

There is a very strong anti-bullying policy, and makes sure nobody is mistreated. There are security cameras in every hallway and outside the building as well. The school nurse is shared between the elementary and high school, so she might not be in the right place when needed but is easily contactable.
