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.

Ashdown high school is a wonderful school that excels at both academics and sports. All of the teachers are great with disciplinary actions and also the overall teaching part.

Well, some of the teachers work towards actually trying to make a good environment for the students, but a lot of them don't seem to care all that much. I just feel like my mental health has deteriorated my mental health.

I transferred to Ashdown High in my senior year of high school. I came from a bigger city in Texas. Everyone here was welcoming and they helped me to retain my credits despite the differences between the two states. The only thing that I wish I could change when it comes to Ashdown is how they weigh their classes. Before I transferred I had a 4.0 GPA, but when I moved to Ashdown it dropped to a 3.66 GPA. That isn't a big difference but I am a senior and my grades are how I am paying for college.
