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 overall experience at Suitland Highschool has been sort of " bittersweet " i should say . Although we have a lot of good pros the downside of Suitland High school is the community and the people in the school as a whole , Suitland students and staff face a lot of violent from outsiders and students inside of the school Suitland has many ups and downs such as the amazing programs they have to offer ( Cosmetology , the CVPA program and many more ) And the staff is very helpful and they push us to do our absolute best when it comes to our future . We have amazing school spirit and sports programs. , Suitland most certainly gave me the perfect high school experience when i first came into Suitland as a Sophomore i was this angry 14 year old that didn't have a clue in the world what i wanted to do , i have no self control and i acted as if i had nothing to lose . The staff at suitland helped me grow into a young adult. Now as a junior i've learned self control and what i wanna do !

The school has received funding so it will soon be under construction therefore plenty upgrades to the school will be made which also includes safety. New staff, class room upgrades, etc. So I'm happy for the upcoming staff and student population who will benefit from the funding for the school.

I will admit that I had some strong reservations about sending my son to Suitland High, due to all of the negative attention that has been floating through the media, but it had a wide a variety of tempting programs available to the students...and I decided to take a chance. Although my son has yet...
