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.

The school was ok. But some teachers did not need to be teaching there. The lack of care for students was sad and heartbreaking.

My experience at Slidell High School has been not only a diverse, but wonderful experience. The school offers so many career driven courses and gives a plethora of opportunities for student involvement. The school is also very student led, meaning that students have more of a voice in decisions made about their high school experience.

My experience at Slidell High School was alright. The biggest pro of SHS was its learning environment. Slidell High School's learning environment was amazing. The only issues that I had with the school were these small groups of students that just didn't care and just did what ever they did. One change that I would like to see happen in the future is stricter enforcement on the rules they have for the students.
