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.

I attended Amesbury High School for my high school experience. I had a lot of great teachers and coaches who supported me in many ways throughout my schooling and athletics.

Amesbury High School is one of the best high schools in this district. Many of the teachers, students, and administrators are all very reliable and provide a welcoming, safe environment. They are very willing to bond with students and will always reach out if a student needs help in any way. There is nothing to really change at this high school because it is so nice.

I liked how involved teachers are in students' success. Most teachers truly care about every kid and wish for them to succeed.

Great elementary schools. Ok middle school. Good high school. Average - above average public school education. Recent changes at the high school should have positive effect.

Just a lousy school with poor course choices because there is no money for them, unless you play a sport then there is always enough cash for that.

Amesbury school system is consistently one of the worst in Massachusetts. What baffles me is why we have the highest property tax rates in the states and the worst school system. Shouldn't our tax dollars be spent on our childrens education rather than an overly staffed and unnecessary police force?...
