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 attended Stevens for 4 years now. I've had some amazing teachers and counselors to guide me and help me through. I have succeeded in my educational career at Stevens. I have never ended a school year with a missing assignment or a final grade below a B.

Small high school with little diversity. Bad food. Okay teachers - some go above and beyond but most do the bare minimum.

Overall, my experience at Stevens High School has been overwhelmingly positive. My biggest highlight on my experience was the Speech and Debate team, which was a strong source of community for me. The worst part of my experience was the lack of funding for extra-curriculars and classes.
