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'm not too fond of the fact that the school is so small, but that isn't something that can fixed. Other than that, I don't really have anything bad to say.

I love Puckett High School since it is a small school and easy to adjust to. I've been here since Kindergarten and I love the closeness of it where you get to know everyone. I love doing band and participating in clubs such as beta. These open up opportunities for me as a student to explore career options and gain scholarships.

Most of the classes just sit there and play on their cell phones. Some of the teachers set out to insult and embarrass the students then play it off like it was a friendly joke!!! I am left to make sure my kids are ready for college because these teachers do not care!!!
