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.

Howard High School is a very diverse school. The administration and teachers work hard each day for students to be work force, college, and or army ready. They push for accountability above all. As attending Howard I do wish that we had more opportunities to enjoy our high school career. Also, I do understand that it is hard to force students to complete their work but as Howard and Bibb County have open multiple opportunities for students to get ahead and catch themselves up.

students have minimal respect for teachers, the students do not have full access to the restrooms, only 2 times per day, many fights throughout the week

The best parts of my experience are the complete antithesis of the worst parts of attending this school. Faculty and staff have gone out of their way to be both positive and negative influences in my life. The previous administration did not attempt to be a positive influence on the students lives and have yet to experience the effects of the new administration aside from the statement of his intentions.

Howard High School is a fantastic place for my children. We left one of the local private schools about 3 years ago and could not be happier at Howard.

I am a senior at Howard. I have gone to Howard all four years of my high school career. It is a great school and if I had to do it all over, I would choose Howard again.
