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.

Atlantic community high school is a great school overall. The principal is involved and teachers make it a safe place for students. There's some cons like the food they serve and the readiness for graduation, but overall the school provides great resources which u have to find out yourself by speaking to counselors . Which prepared me to be independent and have better communication.

Some of the school administrators are related to the principal, it is completely unfair. The school offers little to no attention to the academic environment, nor are clubs a big thing. Student involvement lacks tremendously. Also, since the start of the new principal we have lost 50+ teachers/admins for relatively the same reason due to the new administrators/ staff. There are very few good teachers left in this school. (administrators favoritism) THIS SCHOOL DOES NEPOTISM

Out of the 4 years I've been at Atlantic it's a good school to be enrolled in because there are many opportunities in Atlantic and the teachers that I've have in the past couple years have been good.

My daughter goes to Atlantic High, and has had some of the worst school experiences in all her years of being at a public school. She is in the class of 2025 (currently a sophomore in the IB program) and absolutely despises it. Most of the classes are reasonably challenging, but her biggest issues w...
