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 have gone to Payson High School for the past three years, and it has been a pretty good experience overall. There are definitely some things that should be changed, like how disgusting the bathrooms are and how many people are allowed to roam the halls during classes. There should be more reinforcement on the dress code and on the school policies because there are some that are not kept at all. On the flip side though, I have learned a lot in my time here and have gained an education. It has been fun and I am excited to say that I'll graduate from Payson High.

Amazing! I love how much this school cares for each individual student! I am grateful for this schools influence on the kids and how they treat them all as individuals and not just numbers. Everyone I have spoken to or have had to speak with has been fantastic! Just an amazing school!
