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.

This school is absolutely horrible just because of the kids that go there. If you do not fit this perfect little social construct, you can be harassed, bullied, or worse, and when you report it, nothing will be done. All focus goes into sports, not into any of the fine arts programs that are the reason the school earns so many awards.

I've gone to Potosi my entire life, but there's a few things about PHS that I would change. I believe that every school has things that others would change if they had the opportunity, so it is normal for the school to have some flaws. Lunch is the big problem here. On days when the school is serving something good, the lines are backed up almost all the way to the other end of the cafeteria, and it takes the entire lunch period to get your tray if you're stuck in the back of the line. That is the big problem I have noticed so far this year, but other than that, it's been okay.

I almost went to college early my junior year and I decided to stay at Potosi. That decision has proven to be one of the worst of my life. While some of the teachers and faculty are awesome, others find a way to ruin the experience. The school has no money and what they do have is spent not on education or even things like air conditioning, but on athletics.

There is always room for improvement, but for the most part, the staff is doing well with what they are provided.

Not enough classroom supplies, some teachers take grades on assignments they never gave, they do work on the football and baseball areas, they hire coaches instead of teachers, the yearbook teacher makes fun of students in class and the arts are under budgeted.
