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.

Hit or miss with the teachers. Some would tear down the world for you and the others won't give you the time of day and act like it's a college class.

Prestonsburg High School is a school with a lot of character, it desperately needs more funding and updated facilities but other than that, it is a fairly welcoming, nice school.

Love my school, small town feel, teachers really care about the students. They prepare students for life outside of High School, not just for college but for adulthood.
