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.

My experience at Stephenson High School was great. All my teachers were very knowledgeable in their subject that they taught and they were very helpful in getting my career started and laying down a foundation for my education.

I would like for the baseball field to be renovated and a clubhouse with decent bathrooms. I would like to see more parent at PTSA meetings. Stephenson has a great football and basketball team with great fundraising ideas.
