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.

My overall experience with Avon Park High School, was quite delightful for the most part, the teachers and staff around me are always trying their hardest to help me anytime I need anything. This school has a good environment and it helps when we have nice students and students who are willing to help no matter what

In all honesty, going to APHS is not bad. I wish there was more togetherness within the student body. I also wish there were more career technical education opportunities at the high school.

My best parts of my experience at Avon Park High School was taking rigorous courses that weren't too difficult that they seemed impossible, and being able to get the resources I need for college preparation and applications. The worst parts would have to be the cafeteria food, and the fact that there were a lot of fights that would sometimes put the school into a lockdown.
