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 has a few sports, but options are rather limited. The biggest sports are football, baseball, and basketball. These sports are also mostly boys. The girl sport options are far more limited. Mostly Softball and basketball.

I have enjoyed my time in school because I have taken the time to become active in the school. I have enjoyed things from the choral programs to the school newspaper.

Amherst Middle School can be described as unique. Teachers not only invest their time and energy into the students' education, but they also care about individual lives. Students often return to visit once they have moved to the high school and remark how much they miss their middle school teachers....
