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.

Abilene High School has its pros and cons. The teachers I've had in the past have been awesome, this year especially. The administration has had some rough patches though. It has been bumpy this year with administration. It feels as if they aren't on top of everything and it feels like it's crumbling down sometimes. My English teacher this year has been amazing at preparing us for college and it's because of him that I feel prepared for college life.

It has unopposed literature and rhetoric education which should be the base or cornerstone of a person's education--that all other education will be enlightened with literature and rhetoric e...
