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 school is very good in academics and teaching, but it lacks a lot on the administration. This has been a long issue for all my years at ASRHS and still is.

I really enjoyed the academics, extra curriculars, and sports in this school. As it is on the smaller side, my class is 98 kids, it provides a really good community as we all know each other from clubs, sports, and classes.

Its a pretty cool place. While we may be tiny, and very much off the map, I think we can pride ourselves in being a school where no one is bullied or feels like they don't belong. The school itself is pretty new and nice, and our facilities are pretty good, including a mac lab, huge art studio and ceramics room, great chorus and band room/classes and big robotics program.
Administration unresponsive to outreach, the culture is unwelcoming and facilities outdated. Parent concerns and safety concerns are not taken seriously. There is a general lack of awareness in mental health and inclusion and symptoms of harassment.
Excellent. My son has done very well. He has a strong interest music and there is a strong arts program. Faculty and guidance have worked as a team to enable this. His standardized test scores are strong and the faculty has been great.

The teachers choose favorites, some treat us like little kids and some of them have the I don't care you figure it out kind of attitude! A lot of the students here are snobby, rude, petty and can start...
