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 enjoy going to school here in Peaster, for it has a very connected community. Sports are well funded, though the arts are not so well funded. The school doesn't have that much money, but it has good staff.

Peaster High School is growing too quickly, and doesn't have the money to support all the students it currently has. Even then, all the faculty still put in 110% effort to support students needs. That's just something that can't be found anywhere other than small towns.

Peaster High school is one of the most positive and encouraging schools in North Texas. Not only is it academically challenging but, its clubs and student body provides a competitive well-rounded program. Preparing students for the real world.

Basketball was king; however, the teachers enforced "No pass no play," it didn't matter how good you were - so there is also a strong belief in education. The staff also was always in your business, so you really couldn't g...
