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 started going to Prarie View High School starting early August 2024. I am a Freshman and so far it is overall good. It may not be the nicest school but once I am done learning I can play lacrosse.

Prairie View High School is a very diverse high school that has introduced me to many different cultures. There are many students who come from different backgrounds. All my classes had very different people who i was able to talk to and get to know. If you are shy there are also different clubs you can join to get more people and involve yourself in different environments.

Prairie View is a good school to go to but has its limits based on the low funding. The best part could be the diversity, while the worse is the involvement the school puts towards its students. I would like to see change regarding individual based college readiness.

My child feels welcomed in the building and enjoys classes. Only issue is that counselors value large, poorly planned meetings over students needs, specifically regarding concurrent enrollment.

Counselors have way too many students to actually counsel effectively. They just lost their school psychologist and replaced her with a “case worker”. Not great at IEP plans or helping special needs students. This school seriously needs some help. A score of 3/10 is an embarrassment.
