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.

I really like the small community and that everyone seems to be friends. I would like to see AFC get more clubs and sports programs!

At AFC High School there are many different clubs and activities that can support many different types of students. Our programs at AFC range from FFA, book club, sports, academic bowl, National Honor Society, and many others. The programs are supervised by highly knowledgeable leaders and are respected throughout the school. There is an extra curricular activity for anyone at AFC.

If there is ever a disciplinary or controversial topic, it is usually brought up immediately by the faculty and administration and it is taken care of pretty quickly.

I have been with this district for one year.The leadership is HORRIBLE. There is no communication or follow up to questions. 1. The principle ignores emails and phone calls. Has called my child a liar (because they all lie at that age.) 2. The superintendent is not interested in fixing anything. Eve...
