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 best part about Abilene High would be the kind teachers especially the ones teaching Ap, they do what they can to get students prepared for college. The worst part would be the students in and of themselves, there are bullys on student council, kids not having opportunities because of other students, and students attacking other students.

In general, Abilene High School is just like other high schools all over the country. I know some students from this school and I can tell that at least they have polite students.

Best experience was the pep rally's, since all the students came together and had a good time supporting our athletics program. My bad experience was when there were a whole lot of fights and they punished the whole school rather then punishing the ones responsible. I would like them to change their mindset and take in consideration what the students want and not only care what the staff wants to build a better environment for everyone involved.
