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.

Booker T Washington High School gave me a lot of great experiences. The theatre program is phenomenal, and I was given a lot of incredible opportunities. There are some great teachers, and there a few that are not as great. However, I was able to learn and be enriched in new knowledge in AP/honors level classes. The teachers who were passionate about their job shined above the rest, and I am grateful for their teaching and guidance.

I had a fun time from start to finish. I was there through Covid and a change in principals and we had our very high ups as well as our very low downs but overall it was such a great experience and a thrill to keep as a memory as I graduate and move on as an adult.

I attend Booker T as a sophomore. In my one year of going there, it has been pretty great. I have met so many amazing new people. Most of the time everyone is friendly and respectable towards each other.

Going downhill, I know a lot of other parents are pulling their kids out and sending them to private school. I predict in a decade or less the school will be an F school and they will have to implement another emergency measure a la IB at PHS. Don't come here if you're going to be something. All the...

After walking the hallways to see the school first hand, I couldn't help but notice how old, run down the lockers for the students are...and now come to find out there are terribly rusted and old, that students can't access the lockers.
