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.

During my time attending Polson High School I have had an amazing time. From the quiet tension in tests too the electric atmosphere during sporting events I wouldn't change a thing. The teachers being able to adapt while being themselves to help students is great and I really enjoy whenever I have the chance to have a conversation with one. Most of the student body are kind people and are willing to help if one should ask. However, the cafeteria food is very subpar and the cleanliness of the restrooms are not good. Last year the bathroom stalls had no doors and the soap dispensers were always empty and broken. I don't blame this on the faculty because there are some students that think it is funny, and if they replace them every time there were broken it would cost the school potentially hundreds of dollars but, they never tried to replace the doors to make the restroom a private place.

Polson High School is a very average public school. It does have some benefits such as the sports program being one of our most invested and also having many activities such as clubs. There are some disadvantages with the school being sometimes reckless with money and spending it on luxuries instead of necessities.
PHS is just like anywhere, it is what you make of it. There are not great kids and there are great kids in every school. Your perception is your reality.

The student remained in school the next day and even rode the bus home. She was in school the next day as we...
The only place I felt comfortable being myself was the music wing. Every other place was prime bullying territory. Jocks rule this place and many teachers are complicit because they were jocks in high school too.
