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.

We are one of the best schools in the nation. Our FFA chapter and academics are impeccable. As a student, I have big hopes for the future of my school and myself.

ACHS has been doing 1-1 computing for three years (as of 2014) and this really prepares students.
