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.

I'm Amaya Argumedo and my experience with flagstaff high school is really positive. In my freshman year I always felt really included from all of my teachers. It was nerve racking meeting all of these new students and going to a way bigger school from what I was used to. All of the teachers and students were actually really genuinely nice people that wanted to make everyone feel welcomed and safe. I think the way people treated people was the best part of the entire experience because they made me feel less anxious and really wanted. I think the worse part of my experience was the homework because I have little siblings and it's hard to focus when I hear the tg blasting or the kids screaming. I would like to see change on including the shy kids and for them to be able to find their own friends in every class.

I wish there were more 'non-typical' sports recognized - ex. dance, equestrian. I enjoyed the number of AP courses that I could choose from.

I’m a foster parent with both gifted and challenged students. I’m so impressed with the social emotio...

One of the worst schools by far in the entire state, The education staff needs to be evaluated if they are even fit to be around young adults. The only good thing that has happened to this school is that Cullen was removed and no longer in charge of other peoples children. Be very cautious and talk...

Do not recommend for anyone with mental health problems. They do not handle bullying appropriately. They also do not fund arts programs . Teachers are not appreciated. The resource teachers are severely underfunded and do not get what they need for their classrooms. There’s hardly sex education. Do...

Terrible. The administration at this school is terrible. The principals do not build you up but rather tear you down. The school is no fun and feels like a prison
