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 best experience has got to be being in the school drama club, there is never a dull moment and the people are wonderful. I don't really remember something that was the "worst" part, but something I'd like to see change is how schedules are organized and made.

The best part of the school is that the classes aren't that long and that there is a homeroom period before the last class.

Scituate High is a great place for high school. Most of the teachers are really nice. However, the students here are difficult to deal with and take away from the overall high school expierence. It definitely makes it harder to enjoy school when students are being disruptive and offensive to you or your friends in the hall.

My oldest daughter is graduating this year and was accepted to several nursing schools in New England with significant academic awards. The majority of teachers put in the extra time with the students who are willing to do the work. I feel she is well prepared for university.
