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.

The community fostered there as well as the teachers is great, however sometimes the content lacks due to a fun teacher rather than a committed one. Additionally, the school could use some upgrading and more nutritional meals. But, all in all I love my school and am so fortunate and grateful to be in such a wonderful environment every day.

I had a great experience and really enjoyed my time here. I just wish there was more support for the arts including band, chorus and theatre. These are all award winning departments and yet there is little to no recognition from anyone besides the principal. No other teachers or students support them which brings them less money and awareness for new projects.

In my experience coming from the middle school, and then spending my first years of highschool at ACR I can honestly say I felt overlooked, and unimportant. It felt more like a prison than a school, minorities being pushed into the lower level classes are a prime example of the achievement gap. In n...
