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.

Schools OLD, moldy, and stinky, except for 9th grade campus. AP teachers SLAY, regular teachers do not. Wish we had more AP options.

Sulphur high school is a school with good academic programs and great facilities and students. SHS it's a really spacious place with an entire building dedicated exclusively for freshman students. Since the early stages of high school, the school offers tons of opportunities and programs for students.

Absolutely horrific. Bullied from freshman year to senior year for sexuality. Administration wouldn’t help. Academically (advanced classes) it was a great place to thrive.
