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've been a student here for 3 years and I've had a generally good experience. That school could improve in aspects like college readiness, food, and helping students who struggle with subjects like math but overall the school is good.

My experience at Stephenson High School was great. All my teachers were very knowledgeable in their subject that they taught and they were very helpful in getting my career started and laying down a foundation for my education.

My best experience at the school was probably any sport event I went to, the sense of community and passion in the entire stadium made me feel absolutely ecstatic to go to the next. I did not like the frequency of fights, it got out of hand a lot. I wish they would throw more pep rallies.
