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.

Speedway High school is a very positive learning environment. They teachers are very kind and are great at teaching students complex lessons. There is a very large variety of classes available including tons of AP classes. You are able to graduate from the high schools with enough college credits to skip your freshman year of college. The arts programs are phenomenal and the athletics programs even better. The cafeteria staff is great and the classrooms are comfortable. If you live in the district there is no reason why not to choose this school.
