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 part of my experience was the many opportunities given by teachers. With those opportunities, I could belong, grow, and succeed as a student. The worst part of my experience was the constant stress with the advanced classes I had been taking. I went from AP to IB in less than 2 years, however, the stress may become beneficial in helping my transition to college. I would like to see more resources available for students regarding health and wellness.

During my time at Annapolis high there have been some good and bad parts. The good would be the friends that I have made and Id say one of the teachers there that Ive had has really been able to connect with there students. I don't think that it's the safest school or the quality is amazing, there are many fights that seem to go on. But At lent there is an art program because I love to dance.

My time at Annapolis High School has been pretty good, in my view. There are a lot of students who are prepared to learn to the best extent, the teachers are pretty knowledgeable and passionate, and it isn't too hard to become a part of something either.

One semester was enough for my freshman. Constant fighting. threats. commonplace classroom disruption coupled with zombie-like teachers and an indifferent principal made for a thoroughly terrifying experience.

Annapolis High School has been a wonderful experience for our family. The principal is one of the most communicative and positive administrators we have ever met. We love waking up to his "Good Morning Panthers" during this year of virtual learning. We have had overwhelmingly positive experiences wi...

As a parent, it is so incredibly frustrating to hear several teachers say during parent teacher conferences that they have to "teach to the lowest common denominator". The bar is set so low, yet students - of all races, even white - are still not proficient in math and English. Way too much time/ene...
