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.

I think that Pocatello High school has great academics and programs. I think that the food and facilities could use some work but overall a good school with staff that care.

She would change things at the school based on how she felt alone and not consider the student body, which caused great anger among the students.
