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.

I have been at Spanish Fort High School for the last 3 years. Within those years, I've had to deal with multiple changes because the principle didn't like the staff and continues to fire them every year. The councillor's are no help, but besides that, I have been given a good education by teachers that truly care. Majority of my teachers, I have built relationships with, and feel as if they are someone I can turn to.

I enjoyed the overall atmosphere. The teachers try to help but are overwhelmed with the number of students. The curriculum of class options was good. I have learned a lot in high school. Covid has changed our overall environment, but we have acclimated to the change . The food has a lot to be desired. We were allowed to leave campus for lunch this year. I do track and field but the coaching support isn't good. I had to seek outside help for coaching and work to pay for this independently. This has helped me become for focused on the sport and enjoy it as well.

What I enjoyed about my high school were the friends I met. Even though I had challenges with classes and just everyday things teenagers endure, I still grew mentally and will remember my time here. I know there will not be anything like my high school experiences.

Spanish Fort is a good school. They definitely need a bigger cafeteria though.

Have one child that recently graduated and another with one year left. The programs offered here and the education my kids received were top notch. They have lots of AP classes and a great sports program. All of the teachers have been helpful and caring.

The best way to describe it is if you don’t have a friend group or at least a few friends you get made fun of by everyone. Some teachers are OK but most have a short temper and resort to threats(move us or punish us) in stead of warnings and whenever on person does something bad they punish the clas...
