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 best experience I have had is the teachers working with the students helping us get to the next level . I haven't had a bad experience. Everything I have experienced here at amite high has been beneficial to me and the next chapter of my life I wouldn't have it no other way

As a student I feel the school gives me a college readiness experience. My school has a lot of diversity and you can learn about different cultures and ethnicity. The facility and Staff feels like family and wouldn't hesitate to put everything aside to help when asked. Even though they might not be number 1 in academics they are very concerned that we get the best education.

My school may not be the best, but it is a good school. People try to make Amite High School out of the worst school in the parish, but I strongly disagree with that. We do learn and our teachers and other administrators are working hard to install knowledge into our minds. Our school scores are als...
