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.

Superior High school is a very nice school with some very good facilities inside the school and also sports facilities. There are hundreds of different classes for all kinds of interests. Superior has classes for every interest you can think of. There are also lots of options for AP classes and also duel enrolment classes for you to gain college credits. The teachers and counselors at Superior are very helpful in figuring out what you would like to do after high school and also helping you in classes you struggle with. There are some issues with Superior High school when it comes to vaping and behavior issues. This is getting increasingly worse throughout the years but I do believe that the administration and behavioral admin do a very good job at helping those people with those problems. Overall I think that if you are a well behaved kid that takes school semi seriously Superior High school is a very good school for you.

I think that they could incorporate more diversity in college classes within the school or AP courses. But they do a good job in offering many different kinds of basic courses and lots of clubs!

Many students drop out and fail classes and teachers refuse to help due to this. When sexism is reported to...

It's not often you will find a teacher that's willing to teach. Drug deals in bathrooms and other "odd" things. Higher ups making random decisions with no good reason. Not including plenty of kids in activities. Some teachers yell or refuse to help students. Men get their questions answered rarely c...

They handle problems very poorly. They do not have the students interests at heart. My daughter is miserable going there. Bill Puynko has caused my daughter more stress and has done nothing about her being bullied. I truly am disappointed that the state would fund such a school that has made childre...
