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.

My high school overall has been a great experience the only problem is where the school tries to put the money being mostly in sports and random things. Teachers deserve more and for the low pay a lot of teachers are forced to leave.

I enjoyed being at Poth High School because the teachers were very close to the students. The student count was very low. Only a 2A school at the time I went through high school. We received the pleasure of a closer one on one experience with education.

Teachers mostly focused on guidelines instead of trying to help students and make it fun. Plus none of our guidelines really made sense and actually caused worst results than better.
