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 started at Handley High School my Junior year. The best experience I've had has been the OEC (Outdoor education center). In OEC you get to be outside and hands on with animals (cows, chickens, catfish, bees) and with our crops and greenhouse. My worst experience was getting money stole out of my bag and the issue wasn't ever really resolved. I'd like to see students more involved in class and more opportunity for students to connect with one another.

The best parts would definitely be making friends, having great teachers, and good academics. The worst is the fact that a lot of us kids do get unmotivated having a lot of time away from school, but I think that's with a lot of schools.

I've been going to Handley since Kindergarten, it's obvious that it is neither the best nor worst, it has a good football team, but they prioritize the football team too much and the rest of the school too little.
