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 thing I like about Callaway High School is that it is open to anyone, religious, diversity etc. The resources that are given have very great benefits to it's students.

I attend callaway from my freshman to senior year. I enjoyed the actives that were planned, such as field trips and pep rally's. Having understanding and helpful teachers. Meeting new people whom I've become close with. If I could change one thing, it would be to update the school. At this current moment the school has been sorta updated, from a new gym to new water fountains. But there's still other improvements needed to be made.

When first entering Callaway, I honestly didn't know what to feel. I wasn't fearful because I knew that I would be around a lot of familiar faces, so I didn't have to worry about feeling alone. My overall experience at Callaway High School was about a 7 out of 10, some days were good but other times felt pretty disappointing.
