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 food is not very good and the lines are long to get the food at lunch. I would like to see a recycling program at Apharetta High School. They did not have one and there is a lot of waste happening. I would like to see more enviromental friendly activities as well.

It has been the personal favorite of the 8 schools I've attended, largely due to the range of academic and extracurricular options and the community.

Alpharetta High School provides a good mix of academics, extracurriculars, and modern facilities. There is a large variety of sports, activities, clubs, etc. However, there's room for improvement in some areas. Overall, it's a solid choice for a well-rounded high school experience.

It is unfortunate that AHS lets policy get in the way of common sense and student achievement. It is discouraging how AHS refuses to acknowledge when they make a mistake. It has a culture that too often doesn't exhibit very good trust or communication with students, parents, or the community. While...

This School varies from student to student, but from what I have seen across the teachers and staff, this school does not care about education. The teachers here are mosttly disorganized and not impactful on kids learning. The counselors barely help with any situation whatsoever. THe teachers here a...
