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.

My experience at Armstrong High School was really great. The low amount of students and high amount of teachers gave me the opportunity to have good one-on-one time with the teachers and get a better education. This also allowed me to know everyone in the school and make more friends.

Armstrong High School is a very simple school. With only 200 or less kids, we do not have much diversity. I am Hispanic, and even though I fit in, I do not have many others like me. Since we are a small school, we are very close; which can make up for there not being any other Latinas. Our staff is great, we are all very close and get along very well. I believe it is a well-rounded school, however it is just too small and underfunded.

The lunches are so government controlled, there is not very much we can eat. For being high schoolers, we do not get enough to eat. The cooks would gladly serve more food but the government will not let them because the meal has to be a certain amount of calories. The food does not have very much taste, it is mostly bland. In my opinion, you will be happier and more satisfied if you brought your own lunch.

Extremely small rural school. Only a handful of students in each grade. Allows for a much more personalized education. My teenagers went to several schools due to my job relocating and they liked this one the best.

It is a great school with compassion for its students. The small school atmosphere is excellent and conducive to learning. I highly recommend the Armstrong school district.
