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.

Prescott High School is a close-knit school within a close-knit community. You can turn to anyone, teacher or student, for help and support; everyone is very kind. Students are multi-evolved in academics, sports, and many other extra-curriculars offered. Not only do the students excel in school, but bring that hard-work to athletics as well demonstrated in many state appearances among all the sports in recent years.
