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.

There were some good teachers, and then there were bad teachers. I had to be taught one on one, and some of my teachers didn't understand that they just wanted to call me stupid and let me fail even if I went to tutoring and then the good teachers were very helpful with me learning and trying to teach me what my other classes were trying to teach me

Members of the faculty are good people, except for some (mainly the baseball coach), but many of the students lack discipline and character, which I think stems from the lack of discipline they receive at home. Many of the students are disrespectful to the teachers and to other students. A positive fact about this school is that there are some intelligent students that are also very respectful.

Aurora schools teach the kids small town values - like helping others, working hard and community pride. There is no other place I would rather send my kids.

To the Choir- I believe you were in Chicago at the Shedd Acquarium on May 28th,2011. I was sitting with my mother celebrating her 90th birthday with our family. When you saw it was her birthday you all Sang Happy Birthday to her outside the Shedd and then "May the Good Lord Bless you and Keep you"....

I for one believe Aurora High School is a very good school. Although sports are considered important I do not feel the school is over accommodating to the players of these sports. The new high school is a very nice place with new everything. Sorry for the first poster who felt it was inadequate.
