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 was mainly a part of the higher level academic groups. Think AP, Honors, D/E, etc. In that sense we have really great teachers. My siblings who aren't in these programs have a few trouble teachers, but they're not too bad. Our sports are pretty good, we have amazing girl sports team, even with less financial backing. We put a lot of money into our boys football team and I don't think we have some close to any state competition in many years. We got a new couch so that may change but I doubt it. Our musical department is one of the best, i'm not in it but I have a lot of friends who are. Our marching band is very popular. Our club selection I pretty wide, tho i'm personally only in a few. Club stuff is a very good way to make friends, and find a community outside of the classic interest. We have pretty good diversity I don't think we've ever had only one person of a specific nationality at once. This dversity is mainly due to being a 'fort' school. (kids from nearby fort attend)

I have been here for 5 years and its an ok school with great opportunities. It's just some students that don't take advantage and create drama. But its a great school iff you stay to yourself with minimal friends and focus on your school work. Some teachers give a moderate amount of work and others don't which is weird but it's a good school.

Prince George High School is unique. At this school it is easy to make friends, kids are very kind here and if they see bullying they put a stop to it very quickly. The staff is great. They are easy to talk too, if you're having problems they will sit down and help you understand what you need. The school offers a lot of things like; art, band, JROTC, college level classes. But one thing that Prince George High School could fix is the building. It's a very old building with a lot of things that need maintenance.

School is outdated. Strong, horrible smells in the hallways and classrooms, students and staff getting sick. School needs to be updated, renovated and clean from front to back. Not pleased with it. For the funding the school gets from local, state and federal, this school has damage that needs to be...

The pizza tasted like cardboard. They only sold actual French fries early on Fridays. They let their students fight for a few minutes before deciding to break it up. People were regularly having sex. Some were doing drugs. They all harassment to a certain degree. If you die oh well! There is a stron...

Education wise, this school would rate a 5 out of 10 from me. It's not the best but not the worst either. It's what your child makes of it and themselves. Sports wise? I would rate this school.a 3 out of 10. Prince George uses the good ole boy system, so military be warned...they choose locals over...
