    #1 Best Public High School Teachers in Mississippi

    Senior: MSMS is such an amazing school. My first year at this school was pretty good. I will admit, this school is NOT for everyone, and even still, you need to do a little adjusting. Upcoming juniors: take advance of every opportunity and stay focused on your work. I know the first semester will seem terrible (or maybe not) but it gets better. The teachers and staff work so hard to make sure we all succeed. My peers are so intelligent and creative; it's really mindblowing. This school is just really good!

    #2 Best Public High School Teachers in Mississippi

    Senior: I love it here! I’m currently a senior vocal and I am in love with this school. These people are the best I’ve ever known. The teachers are fabulous, the people are so creative and the opportunities are endless! I got to take a sculpture and a movement class - both not part of my discipline. I do wish the SLC staff was more qualified (better attitudes). I feel that since they are the people we spend most of our time out of the classroom with, they should feel welcoming and open-armed as well as open-minded. Don’t get me wrong, some of the staff members are so great, but some could be let go. Also, we are an art school, we work hard, we need good food. Good, healthy, not-expired, flavorful food.

    #3 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.

    #5 Best Public High School Teachers in Mississippi

    Senior: Gulfport High School is excellent, from the principles to the counselors to the teachers. All of the staff members want what's best for the students. Not only do students receive a basic education but also an advanced education . Gulfport High gave me the opportunity to take advanced classes, college courses for both Jefferson Davis Community College and Gulfport High School, middle college (where you would be enrolled in high school and college at the same time and graduate with an associates and your GED), and also institute classes which are classes that help you decide what career field you are interested in. Here at this school you will be prepared for college and your career before you ever get started. Gulfport is in fact an excellent school!

    #6 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.

    #7 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.

    #9 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.

    Junior: As a Junior at Lake High School, I have enjoyed my experience. Many of the teachers seek to get to know you, and they have your best interest in mind. Altogether, their main goal seems to be to help each of us achieve our goals and become successful in our own ways.

    #11 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 .

    #12 Best Public High School Teachers in Mississippi

    Parent: My children all graduated from Clarkdale. I have 4 grandchildren at Clarkdale now. I have one who graduated 2 years ago there. I have three family members who are educators at Clarkdale. I know how they love the students and all the extra unpaid hours they put in at the school. Clarkdale is a great community. We have lived in this community for 44 years. It is small enough to feel like a private school but large enough to raise some great kids with a small student / teacher ratio. Go Bulldogs!

    #13 Best Public High School Teachers in Mississippi

    Senior: The Ocean Springs School District has provided me with an extraordinary education. I have been attending school at Ocean Springs High School for the last four years, and the level of vigorous learning overcomes any other high school in Mississippi. I have maintained a 3.9 GPA while being involved with three different extracurricular activities. Even though this school excels in academic levels of all kinds, I feel the administration schedules too many non-educational days. There are the days of which I miss out on furthering my education: holiday breaks, teacher work-days, pep rallies, field days, half days, and local holidays, such as Mardi Gras which is only celebrated along the Mississippi and Louisiana gulf coast. While this may not be a popular choice amongst any other students, I believe education shall not be taken for granted.

The teachers actually care about each and every student there and work hard to let me be successful. You'll make many long term friendships and meet amazing people there as well. I recommend my school.

They have many different resources given to the students to make sure their grades come first! The staff members are just as great! They are willing to help any student that walks through their doors with anything !

Not only do they stick to their core values of encouraging through learning, but they also will support someone struggling. I have learned so much from going to Pass Christian High School. I have been pushed and tested at this school, but, in the end, I wouldn’t have gone to any other school. I am so glad to be a Pass High Pirate!

    #18 Best Public High School Teachers in Mississippi

    Senior: Pearl River Central High School provides a good level of academics to students who attend. The thing I like the most about Pearl River Central High School is when you need help, the teachers are willing to help whether before, during, or after class. Pearl River Central High School is having construction done to improve the safety of the buildings and to provide for study room for the students. One thing I would like to be changed about this school is the communication with the dress code. I believe there should be a limit to dress code, but not an excessive amount of limits. I think the students should be allowed to wear warmer clothes such as sweatpants during the winter, instead of getting a dress code slip when worn. Overall, Pearl River Central High School has provided me with good opportunities, knowledge needed to succeed, and enough safety to get through high school.

It's a good community, the teachers and other staff are really into the tiger spirit, they get hyped up at pep rallys and make it really fun. I wouldn't want to go to any other high school.

They have a good graduation rate and it only gets higher year after year. They have many extracurricular activities for students to enjoy and express themselves in. I personally didn’t like that we had to wear uniforms and some rules just didn’t appeal to me, but overall good school.

    #21 Best Public High School Teachers in Mississippi

    Alum: I had a great time there. When I attended, it was a melting pot of diversity. Bullying instances felt as if they were few and far between; I have a mentally disabled sister who made great friends while she was also there. The academics impressed me; we were actually one of the first schools to allow students to take college courses during their senior year!
    The only thing that I found to be a problem was the favoritism the principal exhibited. For this reason, I found the vice principal to be better suited for her position, since she treated most punishments with objectivity.

In addition, the inspirational teachers and administrators only make the time here more rewarding. Then, the clubs and sports bring a thrilling outlook on the school life with state-championships in multiple sports in only 13 years. The college readiness and resources are second to none as well with top notch courses because of the staff and competition among students. The only average fields are diversity due to the young community and food because of our public school guidelines.

    Phillips Academy

    • Andover, MA

    • 105 reviews

    Alum: My daughter graduated in 2011, and I am a member of the Alumni Council for Phillips Academy (full disclosure).

    Even though I knew how special Andover was, I experienced an even better Andover through my daughter. She was a smart girl before, but she developed such confidence, particularly in math and science. I watched the self-doubt become controlled and I saw a true leader develop. Even when there was a disappointment, she knew that she could power through it with the skills she possessed.

    And the friendships! She has life-long friends, both boarders and day students, boys and girls, athletes and non-athletes. All are smart, confident, and succeeding in their fields, now that Andover is behind them. But, you never lose Andover; it is always with you, allowing you to strive and succeed in every way.

    Parent: Best Environment, best heroes we call teachers and best deals when it comes to money. Tuition is way less than other private schools that are supported financially by the state and other government institutions. With the reasonable fees the school charges, it offers ample of knowledge, support and kindness to all. Above all, with the dual program ANA is part of, the students and parents save thousands of dollars after transferring their college credits earned during their years of dual study. My only regret that ANA didn’t exist 50 years ago. Thanks to everyone who was and is part of ANA, you’re real Heros!
