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 school board is trying hard to improve the situations at the high school. However, some teachers abuse their power and will not treat other students fairly based on their race and/or religion.

I have really enjoyed my time here at Amboy High School. The only thing that might interest me in attending a different school is my choice in career path. Wanting to go into the performing arts I might chose a school that offers more opportunities in that field. However, I have had great experiences here, and I love the small town feel it brings.
