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 would like to see the administration take more interest in helping me to achieve my goals. Currently, emphasis is placed on attending in-state schools and students who have higher aspirations are not adequately supported.

I have had a very nice experience at Tupelo High through my first two years of high school. The campus is setup very well and gives a college feel with its length and the space between buildings and classes. There is also a wide range of electives offered that gives everyone an opportunity to find an extracurricular that they enjoy. The social life, in addition, is incredibly diverse ensuring that every student has a good friend group who shares their interests and values.

I love this school and I love the community built around it. Everyone here is so unique and every person has their own personality. The only gripes I have with this high school are the same gripes I have with the school system in general. Underpaid teachers, teachers who can't teach, and ridicuolous rules and regulations.

In response to the earlier post concerning "outsiders" having a hard time here, THAT IS THE PROBLEM! This school has a problem with inclusion and diversity and bullying especially among female students. My experience tells me that the girl bullies are most likely the product of their mothers being a...

I'm a junior at THS. Let me just say that I love my school. The teachers are great, and the vast majority of them are very passionate about what they do. If I had to complain about anything, it's that there are some uppity snobs; but I'd like you to point out a place that doesn't have a single one o...
