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 experience at Prescott High School has consisted of many highs and few lows. My freshman year was modified due to covid. My school used hybrid learning, half online and half in person. This caused a struggle within my learning experience. In my other years of high school, I have learned under highly qualified teachers and gained an excellent education.

Teachers are overall good and direct. Our school is nice and new and we have a widespread variety of opportunities.

They added and mural in the halls that shows that the staff is welcome to people of all races and all kinds. They are also accepting of the LGBTQ+ community. As long as you stay with the right group of friends your experience will be good. The counselors are also amazing and very helpful.

Prescott HS has been going downhill and continues too. Math and Science scores are low. Parents with successful young adults have had to get tutors to supplement what isn't offered (or offered well). While most high schools push for 4 years of language, Prescott really truly only does 2. While some...
