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.

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.

Overall I think Scituate High School, and Scituate Public Schools as a whole, are future focused for their students. In my experience the school has been a safety net for students who don't focus on the future because it is far away in their mind. In addition, the programs offered are diverse and well taught and allow for students to explore and find their interests.

Offers many resources. Could be more diverse. Most of the teachers are great. Food could have more of a selection.

The experience I had at Scituate High School was an ok experience. Some parts of the school need to be updated but safety is very important to them. Students are respectful to teachers and each other as well.

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.
