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 academics, could be better. I Don't feel the safest at my school because they don't really enforce rules or do anything about bullying. The girls athletics are great and we are all very hardworking.

I came here for all my four years and I had a lot of experience with different people, cultural. I also had a great academic journey I've always been helped with my struggles, I've never failed a class nor had to re do one. I love this school and their spirit. My sisters all came here and they also graduated from here the same way I'm planning to. Overall this school is great, very small but more opportunities to really have a relationship with your teachers, and they care a lot about you.

I have attended Poteet High School for 3 years and I am currently still there for my senior year.I have never had any issues with anything while attending Poteet. I love all my teachers and have never had an issue with any student. But I do with that there were more activities engaging with the students.

I have had 2 students attend and graduate from Poteet and my youngest is now a Junior. Poteet has a diversity of programs available to students, college prep, AP, vocational/ technical, and dual credit. Orchestra, band, JROTC, athletics and theatre programs are also great. Parental support is strong...
