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.

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.

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.

I was very involved at this school and I loved going there. There is a lot of support from the community for all programs. It's not a clique-y school like some might say it is. If you think this way, it's time to grow up from middle school and get out of your comfort zone.

I have been blessed to be able to grow up in such a nurturing school and community. Aurora is full of kind and compassionate citizens who are willing to go the extra mile to help others. There are so many opportunities at my school to get involved. The staff is very supportive of the students and is always willing to work with us. Aurora's counselor is so involved with the students and she works hard to prepare us for life after high school. My experience has been one to remember, and I couldn't be more grateful to be at Aurora.
