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.

Actually my high school experience is the worst experience of my entire life, so far. I moved to Vestal High School during the Covid-19 pandemic and I have never felt included here. I was bullied so bad and the school administration did not ever address it. It was swept under the rug. One good thing about Vestal is the Spanish Dept. If it wasn't for their teachers I don't think I would've survived. I also had the best school counselor who understood my struggles and helped me through.

If you put your head down and work you will be and do fine. This school does provide many different college courses that would help you succeed in college as well as certain staff that are looking out for your interests. With that being said, there were some members of the staff and faculty there that didn't care. Some of the opportunities for sports were limited as politics played a huge role in who made the team or who played.

The teachers at vestal high school are exceptional at teaching. Vestal as I graduated had growing diversity within its student population. With that, many students in vestal aren't from vestal and many of them make known that the teachers have notable communication skills. I would describe vestal high school as a school with very little that could make it even seen as a bad school.

Academic expectations are very high, and the workload is similar to college's. My son spent at least 3 hours on h...
Most of the teachers are qualified & prepare the students well for college. There are various opportunities for kids to explore areas which interest them from sports to art to singing or theater.
The reviews about classes, social status, and bullying are accurate. As a parent that has been in this district since my children started school, I have seen a decline in moral, both in staff and students. Bullying and drug use on campus has been spiraling out of control, both being done in the face...
