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 am currently a senior at Atlantic High School. Over these past few years I have been attending, I have been able to gain a lot of life lessons, while getting a personal education. There are several issues that have come up over the years, but overall I would still consider this school better than most when it comes to safety, the amount of opportunities provided, and education overall. If you are looking for a smaller school that is personal and friendly, this is the place for you.

It was a fairly small school but the principal and school staff tried their hardest to get children involved with academics, after school activities, sports, and school spirit. There was talent in sports, theater, choir, that went on to be very successful.

My experience at Atlantic high school was very different from transferring from a big city school to a small country school. Atlantic was good and there was no drama here the teachers were always here to help me with whatever I was going through. Though I miss my old school Atlantic was a good change for me and made me grow as a person and made me who I am today. Through the good and bad Atlantic has always been there for me and showed me that no matter how much I think I am alone and not able to do anything I have people around me that love me and care about me.
