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.

The best parts of my experience at Homestead Senior High School is their pride of the school and the way they always focus and care about the students. The worst parts of my experience at Homestead Senior High School is the food and the fire alarms because they goes off like every week. I would like to see a change in the dress codes.

My overall experience after attending Homestead Senior for 3+ years and still currently enrolled there I would say it's not a good academic environment from the horrible school staff to the very violent students; also the very limited educated, trustworthy, and knowledgeable teachers/staff.

My experience at Homestead Senior High was full of fluctuation but despite that I love my experience at this high school. when it comes to homestead senior high, there will be things you won't be ready for and things that you are 100% ready for, but that's high school in general other than that I believe anyone decides to come to Homestead Senior High one thing that they should know is to always listen and to be ready to work hard for their future. Homestead Senior is just like any other high school but in all ways, we are all different.

Sadly, I am a student who is currently enrolled at HSHS. The teachers are highly unprofessional, and the students are practically illiterate! Coming here all the way from upstate New York, I'll have to say that there is a tremendous decline in education here compared to where I'm from. Ever since I'...

I love HSHS , because of the atmosphere. Everyone think's that HSHS is such a terrible school, when it really is not. You get a great education, and also it feels like home when you first arrive to the school. HSHS should be acknowledge for the hard work that the staff & students, are doing to chang...
