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.

Best parts include having an extremely supportive environment and many different opportunities to advance in life in every way possible. Worst parts may be the student body but that's a personal opinion. I would LOVE to see advisory reworked tho because right now it's a chore we have to attend every Wednesday of a full week of school.

The school is a very warm, welcoming place. There haven't been any bullying incidents that I've ever heard of and I didn't experience it while I was there. The staff try their hardest to help the students succeed and be successful as they move onto college as well.

This, of course, is the lowest of bars, as AMS is a disaster, wrapped in a fiasco, inside a dumpster fire.AHS teachers range from OK to moderately above average, but barely seem interested in the stud...

We have had a great experience in the elementary schools. Not so great in secondary schools. We are sending our kids to a private high school.
