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.

It's a school full of teachers that will support you no matter what. The education there is great as well. Very in-depth and detailed assignment are given to students to help them improve upon the skills that they may or may not already have.

It's a good school with a good IB program but it isn't a normal high school experience as you miss out on some activities other high schools are doing. I have learned a lot and I feel comfortable at the school.

I am a current student at Paisley. I would recommend it. Of course, there are bumps but overall a pretty decent school. The teachers are helpful. They do not give homework unless it is a project or the student did not finish it in class. There are the occasional fight but not enough to be a problem.

Overall it’s been great as the IB education is gold. We’ve had some bullying and 2 bad teachers but with 3 kids that’s pretty good overall. I recommend the school to others. It is worth it in the end!

We have had multiple issues at this school, including unresponsive, non-communicative teachers who have not executed my son's 504 plan in a satisfactory manner. Dr. Cone is a wonderful principal and seems to care deeply about the school, but he cannot overcompensate for the overwhelming dysfunction....
