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.

when i got to high school i had just transferred from another school, so i was quite scared. i couldn't talk to anyone because of the masks and plexiglass at the lunch tables and the separation during class, so it was hard to make friends. eventually i found friends and was super happy. i finally came out of my shell and was ready to continue with high school. after i got over the initial shock and worry of transferring it was a super great experience. the staff was welcoming and all the students were nice as well. i had no trouble during my time at algona high school.

Also, I feel like Algona High School is a safe environment and the student body gets along well. The academic environment is really good as there are a lot of resources and ways to get to extra help. Overall I love my high school and think that it's a well kept district.
