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.

My experience at person high school has been the most positive and negative part of my life because my freshman year was the beginning of COVID so I wasn't able to be on campus I was working from home and talking to my teachers virtual. Once we were able to come to school full time it was one of the best times ever between having fun in classes and also playing football was my most memorable things I did at person. I never got into trouble and always have kept my grades up. I never had any problems with my teachers or administrators, they all have been helpful and always made me strive to be the best me.

Multiple violent threats happened within the past few years, from gun threats to there being 8 fights in one day.

I thought I was prepared for high schools but I wasn't. Many of the teachers didn't care about me or my learning and it was kind of difficult to find good help. There are a few gems in the school and they were amazing like teachers that cared and more. The school could become better over time I believe and that someone won't have some of the experiences that I had. Considering that all of my younger siblings will be attending person high school.

There are a few te...

This is honestly the worst school I have ever attended. The administraors are selective about who they punish, they're afraid to punish certain people and pick on those that are not "Christian like" or "too different". Also the dresscode policy is a tid bit outrageous. Wearing shorts is fine but if...
