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 feel really at home here. Sure it could be a better school regarding certain issues like racism, teacher pay, and homophobia. but, as a student, I feel really lucky to be in this school. This school has provided me with a community that has helped me thrive, and I am thankful.

I have gone to Platte County High School for all four of my High School years. I enjoy the diverse personalities and the common drive amongst most students to thrive. The faculty members at the High School also help motivate students to work towards their full potential and try to improve in places they don't feel as confident.

I had the opportunity to spend 4 years at Platte County High School and would do it all over again in a minute. The teachers really care about there students and want to set students up to be successful in school. The community support Platte County High School Academically and the students give back to community by volunteering their services.

I can't speak for everyone's experience, but I can speak from our own. This school system comes from a small town atmosphere, where frankly everyone sticks to themselves and can be either closed off, standoffish, or stuck up. It is really hard for the students to connect to others in this system unl...

Horrible, we moved because this district and its superintendent do not address its issues.
