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.

When I first moved to the city, Quincy High School played a big role in helping me adapt. The staff and students were welcoming, and the supportive environment made the transition much easier.

Overall, I would definitely recommend it as well. It's the best in the city. The education provided is excellent and covers the essential subjects that students need. While it's not extraordinary, it offers good value for what you get. Ultimately, it depends on the kind of person you want to become and how much effort you put into it.

Very nice and welcoming school with well kept equipment for votech programs. A little scary sometimes due to fights and threats, but handled well. Room for improvement, but still a good school.
