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.

Terry High School has been an interesting experience for me in the last few years. I've been able to come out of my shell and make friends, but also figure out what I want to do for the rest of my life. It has overall been a fruitful experience, and I know had I attended a different school I would not have made the friends I have now.

Terry HIghschool continues to get better every year. There are always opportunities to do something new. I enjoyed my time there. I wish there was better counseling for students, two counselors are not enough.
