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.

Going to Niceville, I have been pretty satisfied with my learning, especially in the gifted program. We also have good honors and advanced placement classes. However, I believe we should help out the less intelligent kids like we do with advanced.

I am a freshman at Niceville High school and it is the best school system I have ever been a part of. I just moved to Florida over the summer and it is a different environment than what I am used to. The teachers are great, fair and get topic across. There is a lot of diversity in the school which came as a surprise to me. It is currently spirit week and everyone dresses up differently but it all blends together in its own harmony. My recourses here are excellent too. I can ask any of my teachers and they are profound in any subject. The library is great, it has plenty of accomidations and makes it a great place to study.

This school is amazing. The bathrooms are very clean, and the teachers don't give any homework. We are very smart, and everyone here gets straight A's. The gifted, AP, Honors, and AICE classes here are fantastic in engaging us and truly helping us to understand the material.

Overrated. A lot of school pride which is nice. The community highly supports the school and students at which is also nice. But I personally think the kids get a lot of chances With grades and on FSA’s so NHS can look good. The regular classes are often kids who are slower to learn, not the high ac...
