#2 Best Public High Schools in Grayson County
Junior: It is a small town and high school, so there is a very close knit community where almost everyone knows each other. Because of its small status, it doesn’t provide as many opportunities, but the staff and administration are all very helpful.

#4 Best Public High Schools in Grayson County
Senior: Something that I liked about my experience at Denison High School was how much we get to be involved. There is always something going on like pep-rallys that the students get to have fun with and dances that everyone gets to come to and have a great night. I always had something to do here at DHS and I have loved every minute here.
While my time here was exciting and a time to remember, I would still like to see a few changes. The strict rules here tend to prevent students from being their best selves. Dress code is something that should be updated. The style has changed throughout the years but the code has been the same sense the school opened. I understand that there has to be certain restrictions but some things should be lifted.
Other than that small thing, the rest of my time here has been amazing. I have loved every teacher and class I got the chance to take.

#5 Best Public High Schools in Grayson County
Alum: My experience at Bells High School was over 10 years ago, however, my 4 years with just the high school were nothing short of amazing! After attending K-8th grade at Bells, entering into high school was the highlight of my life as I got to see and be apart of so much. The academics on and off the sports fields met every standard for my life looking back over time. I'm very proud to say I graduated from such a wonderful school and anything I thought needed improvement years ago has been implemented to only make it the best!

#6 Best Public High Schools in Grayson County
Senior: In my four years of going to Whitesboro, all of the facilities have been absolutely wonderful. The school has great academics and they help prepare their students for their future! Students can be themselves in the different clubs and activities that the school provides! The teachers are excellent at helping students one on one. Our music and art programs are very excellent for people who love to do band, choir, and theatre! The school provides Pre-Ap, Honors, and Dual Credit classes along with a Capstone and Financial class which helps juniors and seniors prepare for their final years in high school and get a better understanding of their future careers.

#10 Best Public High Schools in Grayson County
Senior: I love being part of a small school. We have all the perks of a larger school while having small class sizes and the opportunity to get to know all your classmates. The small class size gives the teachers time to give each student personalized attention.
I have attended Pottsboro with most of my classmates since kindergarten. A few of my classmates even went to Pre-School together.
As with most Texas schools, Football is a huge part of our high school years. School spirit is over the top and does not just include the cheerleaders. The entire student section participates with signs, decorations, costumes and anything else the spirit leader presents to us.

#11 Best Public High Schools in Grayson County
Senior: Hey I'm a senior at howe highschool and I am so thankful for this school I've been there since freshman year a played football, track crosscountry, tennis, baseball and basketball, and in every single sport I played we all played like a family we had each others back, If someone is having a bad day or messed up in something we always treat them as family and try to cheer them up. We also act like family out of sports we are a pretty small school and everyone basically knows each other, even the teachers and we are all a great big family sometimes we have a little problems but we always end up fixing them. Also the community is great we have a lot of parents helping out with the school.I love going to Howe highschool and being a part of their family.

Sherman High School
Sherman Independent School District, TX
9-12
145 reviews
Junior: Sherman high school is an incredible place, especially in football season when it seems as if the whole schools main concern is winning the " Battle of the Ax." Which is the longest running high school football rivalry in Texas, which when taken into context, makes sense as to why the students are so vivacious in this time. However, the school fails to visualize things through a students perspective, and typically has an administrative blowout throughout the year.

KIPP DC - College Prep Public Charter School
9-12
111 reviews
Senior: I have been going to KIPP Dc College Prep since I have been in the 8th grade and I am currently in the 12th grade. My experiences over the year were neutral and encountered both good and bad at KIPP DC.First I think the curriculum is great at KIPP the teachers are very friendly and they will help guide you to understand and have fun with your learning. This has personally helped me excel in my learning.I really have a good connection with my teachers.As far as my bad experiences at KIPP I feel like the learning experience is good and bad depending on who you work around and who you spend your time with. I am not sure if all the students at KIPP are welcoming ,but KIPP as a whole does have its moments when we come together and share positive vibes.The sports and clubs are also very fun along with football, basketball, dance,musical theater, and more.Plus not to mention KIPP sets you up pretty good for college and the workforce.
