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.

At Atchison High School I have been involved in a plethora of activities and athletics. The best part is the small and tight knit community and relationship you build with your peers and teachers. It can be very one on one, if you seek it out. The worst part would have to be the lack of resources for those wanting to excel and go to prestigious colleges. However, I believe this is simply due to our location and the culture of our city as it is more into the country. Good college readiness, but it could be great.

Atchison has been iffy for me. The school itself is alright but I've had bad experiences with the people. Atchison High cares about their kids and are very kind.
