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.

Everything about VHS is amazing. From their supportive teachers and staff to the amazing classmates and friends I made, I enjoyed attending high school here.

I moved to Verdigris for my Freshman year of high school. I have never woken up wanting to go to school before I moved. The people I have made friends with now have pulled me out of my shell of safety and have gotten me to open up. I would not be the person I am today if I had never moved to Verdigris. The teachers and staff are amazing and kind, and everyone knows each other and treats each other with upmost respect.

My son was bullied to the point I had to request a new class after the bully said he was going to bring a knife to school and use it on my son. I feel the bully should have been moved
