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 grown up in the Raytown school district from kindergarten to now about to graduate this spring. I have grown to love Raytown and the community. There are so many opportunities and ways to connect with others. In many ways it feels like a family. Of course there are some things that needs to be fixed to make the community better that give Raytown a bad wrap but that is every community. If someone would give me the opportunity to go back and grow up in a different school district I would not. Raytown school district and Raytown high school has made me who I am today and I am proud to be apart of it.

The best part of my experience was getting to know the teachers and the opportunities they gave me. I really enjoy Raytown High School's Fine Arts program I found family and mentors I will never forget. They helped me become better in the best possible way. The education system is amazing too they have so many classes that fit every students interest. Not only that they also have after school clubs that where students can be themselves and support what they believe in. Raytown has helped me become a better me I will never forget what they did for me.

I have been at Raytown High School for all 4 years of High School. Overall I am ok with the school, if I had to rate the school I would give it a 3/5. It isn't bad but it also isn't good. I feel like it's better than other school districts around the area but it definitely isn't the best. I would want to see some equality at the school because honestly some of the teachers show favoritism towards certain students and it makes me a bit uncomfortable. It's obvious when the teacher has a favorite.

We have had 3 daughters go through RHS (and all through Raytown schools). All 3 have participated in sports, theater, choir and debate/forensics. All 3 were mentored and nurtured by all staff including the lovely women in the front office. The oldest graduating from college in 3 years and going dire...

My two daughters graduated from Raytown High. My two sons will as well. Great teachers and staff, and the school is full of good kids. Students are very kind to the Special Ed students, which warms my heart. Like a small town in Raytown.
