compared to the schools i have gone to in the past it is pretty good. the teachers are nice but the principles are a pain. they could be a lot better if they actually listen to the students rather than always just listening to what the teachers say. the teachers are not always right.

I attended Searcy High school and graduated in 1987. As every school has its ups and downs, however, Searcy High seemed to be open and accepting to the students.

I'm not a parent but I do currently attend SHS, and I'm going into 12th grade, and I think Searcy High School is an excellent school.

This school is honestly a descrase to Searcy. Many families come here for the school district but Searcy High School is a major let down.
