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.

My experience at Vero Beach Highschool was everything I had imagined it to be. As a fighting Indian, we showed pried at are sporting events, clubs, pep rallies, etc. I think the thing I will miss the most be the teachers and peers that I have met along the way. The only thing I can say I wish was different were the lockers, I would've liked them back.

Vero Beach High School is a great place to graduate. All level classes adjust to the students' needs and desires. I am proud of graduating from this high school and I am thankful for the resources it provided me for my personal and academic growth.

This high school has been fun the last 3 years, but there are a few issues. One of which being how they separate the freshman from everyone else by putting them half a mile down the road in a different building. This not only loses the school money by running two separate campuses, but it also essentially forces the sophomores to learn how to navigate the high school, having just learned how to navigate a building operated by the same school.

Amazing staff, great school. With so many options for educating our children in times like these, it's wonderful that there exists a place where kids can truly explore who they want to be and have a path to successfully get there. There is always someone ready and willing to help your child achieve.
