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 experience at Poquoson High School has been great. Lots of up's and downs due to your typical high school experience but overall the school itself treats their students with respect. Teachers and administrators here really take time with students to help them when needed and to help them get the education they deserve.

As I have matured through high school with my peers things have gotten better, however bullying and discrimination is a problem in Poquoson schools. The science, overall honors classes and opportunities are incredible though.

I've had a great experience with Poquoson. All of the teachers are wonderful and easy to relate to. The academic programs are more advanced than other schools in the surrounding area. As a military child it is one of the better schools I have attended.

Overall my wife and I were very unhappy with Poquoson High School. They have had problems with racial issues in the past. Apparently, they still do. I would not recommend parents send their special needs students of color to this school.

This has been an amazing school. We are a military family so we have seen 5 districts total and 9 schools in those districts. Poquoson is among the best of them. We are so pleased with our choice to live here.
