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.

There are a lot of amazing teachers here that love teaching but there are some that makes the students feel like they want them to fail. The sports teams are pretty good, the coaches have their favorites and that sometimes makes kids not want them to even try-out for the team. The food could be way better there are only a few good selection of food that they serve. The safety is really good, we have two cops that stay in the school though-out the day we have only had a few fights and false threat my four years of being here.

My experience at Powell County High School has been a rollercoaster. The teachers here really work with their students and make sure they grasp the content completely. I really enjoyed going to sport events and experiencing high school with my friends.
