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.

Avon Park High School is a great environment for those who love to learn. APHS has given me the resources I need to feel success in my future walks of life. Because of the great staff and standard of education, I feel that I along with many other students have been successfully prepared to take on the next stage of life and be a great part of society.

I graduated APHS in 2017, but throughout my time in APHS I had many great experiences and some terrible experiences with administration and staff. There are a good amount of teachers who care deeply about their students, and then you have the group of teachers who found a easy way to make a paycheck and don't care about the success of the students.

Avon Park High School was a decent experience considering there was not much superior education help from the administration. There were/are few teacher's within the high school that would go above and beyond to help any and every student succeed, and then you have some of the administration staff who find it okay to make the student's there miserable and scared to ask for help or speak up.
