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.

Really happy that A.P courses are being offered at Putnam High. I would wish for IB courses to be added as well.

Putnam High School is a very small school. Between all four grades there is less than 300 students. Everyone gets along really well at the school; there is a lot of pride that comes with being a small school. All of the faculty, including secretaries, janitors, cafeteria workers, etc. are all really nice and welcoming. Every teacher that I've had in my four years at Putnam has been amazing. They are always willing to help any students in need of assistance. We have many clubs and organizations that help bring the communty together. Putnam is a great place for any high school student to go.
