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.

The best part about going to school at Aurora High School is the environment surrounding extracurricular activities. People from all over the town would come out to support any of the events going on, whether that be One Act or Football. The worst part about going to Aurora is the food, for sure It's not very high quality and there weren't a lot of options.

In all honesty, I believe Aurora Public Schools is a great place to allow your kids to attend and get their education! I do however don't think they always have the best staff, certain teachers pick favorites and I don't think that's fair to the others. I'm also very glad they offer great assistance the the kids who don't exactly pick up on certain subjects as quick as the other, but sometimes I believe they are treated to much as a kid in kindergarten rather than a future college student or person of the work force.

Going to Aurora High School is my greatest advantage in life. The administrators and teachers are so kind and helpful, I wouldn't be where I am academically without their constant support.
