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.

Anniston High School is a great school. My overall experience from Anniston is the best I could ask. The only downside is that people see my school from the outside, not the inside out.

My four years at Anniston were honestly the best for me. I viewed school differently than the others. I was grateful for the size and knowing everyone. Our band was definitely the best thing about the school and anybody can tell you that. I would just say the teachers could invest more in every student from the moment they come in the doors.

Anniston high school doesn't get the credit it deserves. Take time to go and visit the school. They have so much more to offer than what's being portrayed.
