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.

Small, safe. Lacks diversity. Offers only one foreign language. Cafeteria food is just okay. Recently updated and a very nice campus. Has a nice sports facility.

I loved that Athens is a small school so you got to know your teachers really well. I would like to see the school grow and come back to see what it looks like when construction is complete.

If I could do this all over, I wouldn't go here. Thus only for personal reasons. I am a very unique person and that is barely accepted in the school by the students. The teachers are very nice and kind hearted.

Great school where respect and discipline are the core of everything they do. Students are really put first and there is a sense of community within the school and the town.

The worse school district in the area- children with differences are told to find a different district and teachers become the bullies. Nothing is available at this school to help those who are different succeed- no remedial, no AP, no honors, and nothing to suit students with different interests.
