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 teachers were understanding and when I went PSEO my junior year anytime I needed help with a collage assignment the teachers were willing to help me even if it wasn't their department.

The teachers are all very welcoming and they genuinely care about your future. The building could use some updates. Overall, I loved my time at Aitkin High School and everybody prepared me for college life.

I used to be a student here, and they were kind of awful and discriminatory to me and others. Teachers and all.
