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.

My Overall Experience with Peoria High School would be a normal high school experience. There were good teachers and bad teachers which would be expected but it is overall a normal school with not so good lunch.

There are lots of opportunities at Peoria that will prepare you for success such as programs and dual enrollment classes. The campus is nice, there is a lot of diversity and excellent care. I'm happy with the campus and don't see a need for change yet.

In the past year or two...

I recently toured this school and it is impressive! They have underwent a multi-millon dollar renovation and the entire school is state of the art. Seemed to be a fantastic learning environment.
