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 sharpstown has been great but I wish they would expose more resources to kids early on to better prepare them for college. I think they need to provide better lunches because some of the food be unappetizing and cold .

My days in Sharpstown High School will always be remembered. I enrolled into Sharpstown in February of 2019, I had moved back to houston from Nigeria. When I first enrolled, I barely made friends and always sat in the front office during lunch. I began making friends when I joined the soccer team. If not for the friends I made at Sharpstown, my days there wouldn't be as memorable.

This is the worst school I have seen. I have 4 children and only 1 goes to this school because they wanted to be close to home. I met the principle 1 time this year and witnessed him being a bully to a student by shouting in his face. It was embarrassing for everyone to watch. The teachers give out...
