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.

From my experience of being a student at Vancleave High School, I have noticed things that I admire and dislike. Something I admire is the way the staff and administrators interact with students. Their positive attitudes are crucial in a student's daily life, and they do well at that. Something I dislike is the diversity and lack of respect from some students. However, Vancleave High School is a great school.

Overall, my experience with my education at Vancleave High School was beneficial. The only critique I have is that the highest level of classes they offer are dual credit. I wish they would be more open to higher level courses.
