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.

Curtis High School is an amazing school and I have enjoyed my time here a lot. The sports teams here are really good and the teachers are great. The only bad thing about the school is the neighborhood that it's in.

Curtis was transformative experience in my life It's a time of discovery, growth, and self-exploration, filled with memories that last a lifetime. From the excitement of freshman year to the nostalgia of senior year, high school is a journey that tests our limits, pushes us beyond our comfort zones, and helps us uncover our passions and interests.

Overall i loved my high school experience. It's was a period filled with exciting milestones like prom, sports events, and graduation. Curtis High School was also a place where my lifelong memories were made, and form close bonds with my classmates. Additionally, this high school offers a unique sense of community and belonging, where individuals can explore their interests and passions.
