#1 Best Public High School Teachers in Mississippi
Senior: MSMS provides an outstanding and unique academic platform with a stellar school community (as a whole). The quaint environment allows for individualized connection between student and instructor. MSMS provides tools for true future success! During the pandemic, the administration has taken into great consideration for safety . They are very dedicated. MSMS embraces us and encourages us in a way that is irreplaceable. The available curriculum is amazing, along with the open opportunities with MS State, etc. MSMS is a great launching pad into a bright future!

The dorm restrooms need a great deal of work, the food options could be adjusted (add healthy grab and go meals and snacks, etc.), and possibly add an additional student counselor to the staff.

#3 Best Public High School Teachers in Mississippi
Parent: I moved from Tupelo Public
schools so my four children would be brought up in a school system that still stands behind corporal punishment, Christian morals, and teachers who are some of the best! A small school is a “ “tight knit” school, which puts kids first. Something about a smaller school in it’s own community is so much easier to trust your kids with. I am so thankful for all the grand things that EU has to offer.

Rating 4 out of 5 14 reviews
#4 Best Public High School Teachers in Mississippi
Junior: Clarkdale is special to everyone that enters its campus. It is a small school which helps with its family like feeling. All the teachers and staff members are helpful and committed to helping students learn and achieve their goals. Not only are the staff there for academic support but also for moral and emotional support. When someone is looking down or having a bad day, a teacher will never hesitate to check on them and help them in the best way. No staff member neglects any student. They also provide for students in the best way they know how. Clarkdale is also awesome because they do outreach projects to help others in need and have social events, which brings the community closer together. The school holds fun and exciting events, which gives students something to look forward to. The school has amazing grades and an outstanding ACT score average. I have been able to experience this wonderful school and am thankful for what it has taught and brought me! Go Bulldogs!

Senior: Sebastopol Attendance Center is overall an excellent school! It’s facilities and teaching staff are top notch, and are successful at getting the most out of kids, even those that aren’t quite as eager to learn. The teachers work hard to prepare you for what is to come after high school, and are successful the majority of the time. Along with a great community and successful sports teams, Sebastopol has many opportunities to help produce smart, hard workers for the next generation.

#6 Best Public High School Teachers in Mississippi
Senior: I like everything about Wheeler high school. I would recommend it to everyone. We may be a small school on the outside , but on the inside it is different. We all treat each other like family and know that if we ever need someone we have people that we can go to to talk with. For example, I have a friend that has been going through some tough times here recently and she has tried to talk to so many of her other friends, but they would not listen and she came up to me crying about it and I told her that she could always come to me with anything and that I would talk with her if she wanted me to. The next day, she came up to me and said thank you so much for talking with me it really helped me a lot . I told her that she was welcome and that if she ever needed me that I am going to be here for her if no one else would be and that if we were out of school and she needed me that she knows where I live and that we can sit outside and talk as long as she needs me to talk with her .

Rating 3.95 out of 5 265 reviews
#7 Best Public High School Teachers in Mississippi
Alum: As a former student of Clinton High School, I am thankful for the education I attained as those three years held a substantial share in who I am today. For example, the teachers were dedicated and always confirmed students comprehended information. Because of my ADHD, it took me longer to understand lessons than peers around me. However, my teachers happily accommodated me as I received help in tutorials before and after school! The environment was positive. Monthly pep rallies allowed me to relax. Clubs and extracurricular activities also played a great role in how I interact with others. I participated in Spanish Club, Anchor Club, HOSA and choir. I developed exceptional communication, self-awareness, and deductive reasoning skills. My counselor guided me towards everything necessary for college. In conclusion, I believe Clinton High School was positively influential in my education and well-being. The benevolence and encouragement will remain with me forever.

#8 Best Public High School Teachers in Mississippi
Senior: My experience at Gulfport High was amazing. I had so many opportunities to grow. The curriculum covers everything from vocational trades to middle college opportunities. I started my freshman year in choir and was able to advance and compete at the state level. I also had opportunities to travel to Hollywood, California and Orlando, Florida. In my sophomore year, I took interest in DECA, debate, youth legislature and Spanish. These extra curriculum programs provided additional opportunities for me to compete on state and national levels. I was also able to challenge myself academically. This placed me in position to get accepted into every college that i applied to and ultimately getting accepted to my number 1 choice Morehouse in Atlanta, Georgia.

Alum: Southeast High School prepared me for college life and it prepared me for life as well. The teachers were very transparent and were very inclined to help their students. My AP Calculus teacher was the very kind to me and helped me understand math more than I already did. She took time to make sure all of her students understand the subject and my ACT score in math improved because of this.

#11 Best Public High School Teachers in Mississippi
Senior: I love coming to this school! It is a safe environment with passionate teachers, and its administration is very friendly. One thing that makes this school stand out from all the rest is how it prepares its students using different techniques. They have a range of classes, technology devices, and teachers that are available to the student's request. It is a very clean and well-kept building that cares deeply about the environment that it creates for everyone. It is obvious to the outsider that Germantown high school is eager to work with their students and the education they are teaching.

#12 Best Public High School Teachers in Mississippi
Senior: Being at West Union, since a young age, I have seen the school prosper. There is still some changes but over time the school has grown. The facility and the staff care about the students and the families of those students. The peers care for one another and want to see each other prosper in and out of school. They need to grow by adding more programs to the school such as a foreign language class or a music class. I have been in band for over 6 years and I have seen the band decline due to the lack of staff and peer involvement in the program. I wish the program would pick back up because being in band has made me the person I am today. I really wish while I was in school I could have got to learn a foreign language. I would be open to learn any language. I plan on learn a foregin language when I get in college but it would have been nice to have a little knowledge before jumping right into college. West Union is a very small and friendly place to have your child grow up in.

Nanih Waiya Attendance Center

Rating 3.67 out of 5 18 reviews
#16 Best Public High School Teachers in Mississippi
Senior: Nanih Waiya Attendance Center is a small school in the small town of Louisville, Mississippi. It is a place where everyone knows everyone and is accepting of newcomers. The school itself focuses on two critical things sports and academics. Out of the three schools in its district, it is the most well known for nurturing students that have an above-average intelligence level. The students are taught by teachers that want them to succeed and see the products of their teaching go far beyond what they believe they can do. As of sports, the school does exceptionally well. Every year they win a state championship wether it is in golf, baseball, or more recently football. The coaches are strict and have great coaching ethics. The only complaint about the school would be the lack of fine arts and music. The school offers some, but it is not embraced as much as academics or sports. Overall the school is one of the best in the state.

Senior: The teachers at Biloxi are some of the best! They really push the students to be the best they can. I definitely wouldn’t be the student I am had I not attended Biloxi as well as for the teachers. There’s nothing that comes to mind when thinking about changing Biloxi. They strive for success and value student safety as well- which is a big deal in today’s society. Also, the extracurriculars are wide range and has something for everyone! Anyone can be a part of an organization, which I absolutely love! Being a part of one of the biggest organizations on my campus has allowed me to see the amazing side of Biloxi. Biloxi is an amazing high school and students are lucky to be able to attend and receive the education that they do!

#18 Best Public High School Teachers in Mississippi
Alum: Since I have graduated, I've noticed a wide variety of classes being offered that weren't available while I was there. I think something should be done about the teachers that mostly gossip and sit around in their classes instead of teach. If you're going to teach a class, teach it instead of posting videos on YouTube and telling student to watch them. You've got some really good teachers, but the bad ones kind of outweigh the good ones.

Junior: Bay High has been an overall great experience for me. Coming into high school, I feared that my nerves would get the best of me, and that I wouldn't be able to handle the sudden shift. However, I quickly realized I had the wrong mindset. The teachers and staff have been able to proficiently educate us about leadership skills, strategies on testing and studying, basic and advanced academics, and independence. Bay High has also helped me break out of my shell, and the experience so far has helped me in controlling my nerves and letting go of my fears.

Alum: Natchez Early College is a great school with awesome intentions. The goal is to achieve your Associates Degree by the time you receive your High School Diploma. The coursework is rigorous, but it prepares you for college. Being able to have the college experience by your junior year and being in dual enrollment really prepares you for a 4 year institution. The key is prioritizing and taking the initiative. The teachers, faculty and staff always make sure you are on the right path and motivates you to do more than what you expect because their expectations are higher than you think. This shows that they genuinely care about your future.

Fairfax Christian School

Dulles, VA
PK, K-12
Rating 4.53 out of 5 34 reviews
Parent: A very physically appealing and well located school. The work is advanced in the sense they are ahead of the public schools but this is primarily accomplished with copious amounts of homework. The High School is top notch and a prep-school (for college), however, the lower school (elementary) is not impressive at all. It is very obvious the administration is heavily focused on the upper years and the lower years suffer as a result. There are no breaks, limited lunchtime and tons of homework for such young kids. The clubs are few for younger years (again better in upper). Bible is mandatory but otherwise relatively moderate. Communication overall is average so you have to be engaged. Most teachers are very good but a few are overly strict. In closing, If you have younger children I would highly recommend waiting until they reach middle school or higher before coming here. If you have upper year school children then you have a great prep-school waiting.

St. Bartholomew Catholic School

Bethesda, MD
PK, K-8
Rating 4.57 out of 5 28 reviews
Parent: My son is in third grade at St. Bart's. We moved from an independent Catholic school and the change in his self-confidence was obvious right away. Class size is small, my son has a homeroom teacher and additional teachers for Spanish, Music, PE, library and computer lab. Although we don't need extra help in the classroom, I know resources are available for kids who have different challenges. Extracurriculars are provided through CYO or private companies and include chess, sports, science, robotics. The school body is small and teachers know all the kids by name. Recess is well supervised, and aftercare is fun. Hot lunch is catered and the caterer offers reasonably balanced meals. Uniform is easy, no jacket for the little guys in lower school! We'd love to see more after school activities being offered to the kids.

Parent: Both of our kids started at The New School in ninth grade, after eight years of public school. It was one of the best parenting decisions we've ever made. Everything about this school is terrific. The teachers are passionate, inspired, and inspiring. Small, topics-driven, seminar-style classes foster creativity and independent thinking, while the welcoming atmosphere makes everyone feel at home. Our two kids turned out to be very different kinds of learners, but both thrived at The New School. Our youngest graduates next year, and we'll be sad to think of not having that day-to-day connection. Can't say enough about this wonderful school!
