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.

Allen Park High is an all around decent school. I grew up in the district and attended Allen Park schools all my life. I feel they are big on community engagement and sports. In recent years the high school has been making lots of changes to make the school safer as well as more competitive in academics. The school has been constructing a STEM lab, adding more AP classes, and renovating the sports fields.
