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.

Alton High School was certainly an experience. A lot of the teachers there are amazing and are incredibly helpful. However, there are a few glaring issues. Some of the administration can be corrupt at times, such as one of the old counselors picking a student she preferred over somebody that was a lot more qualified. Overall though, I enjoyed my time in high school.

Well, they don't do much about bullying, most of the teachers are very biased and pick favorites, sports seem to be valued over everything else, and they are more lenient with the rules if you play sports. Over all I think I've had an average experience at this school, and the academics are probably right at average too.
