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 love this school because it is a great school. Both of my daughters attended this school. They both graduated, one a valedictorian the other a salutatorian. Now my oldest grandchild goes there. I believe Pontotoc City schools deserve to be recognized.
