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.

I think that Piper truly has a chance at being a great school if a few things were to change. The teachers should be more involved with the students and help them better understand the material that they are learning rather than giving assignment after assignment. Some of the teachers are doing this already, but throughout all grade levels, I've seen at least more than half of the teachers do this every semester.

Piper High School is an overall great school. I have enjoyed my classes, and the teachers for the most part are understanding and thorough in teaching both in and out of the classroom. I have some complaints with the social environment of the school, but I am glad for the opportunities I have been given.

The School is very supportive of student success. It genuinely feels like the staff want you to succeed. There are also many options for what courses to take.

I love Piper. I've attended the high school for 3 years now. Sure they have their flaws, any school does, but I wouldn't want to leave for the world.

Lack luster, the super intendent doesn't do anything unless forced to and instead of working with students who have poor grades he tells them to drop out.

I love piper high school! The students here are great. The teachers are very nice and you can learn so much if you apply yourself. You can tell that the teachers really take pride in what they do.We probably have the best principal in the world! It can be very challenging transitioning from another...
