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 at my school have always went above and beyond the requirements, from giving additional assistances to getting to know me as a person. The facilities are well maintained and easy to get around. The school has an outstanding Culinary Arts program. The one thing I would like to see improvements on is the accessibility to counselors.

As a high school senior, my experience with Alpharetta High School has been amazing. Not only do they have various extracurriculars, they also have an amazing rigor for studies, especially if you are interested in the STEM field.

This school failed me when I needed them most. Despite providing documentation for my mental health struggles, the administration completely ignored my situation and withdrew me, undoing all the hard work I’ve put into my education. They claim to put students first, but in reality, they showed no em...

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...
