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.

I feel there is still alot that needs to be done about the student culture here, we have constant fights do to us believe that going to a counselor for help doesn't help and we rather do it by ourselves. There's been a-lot of racism, sexism and homophobia that happens during school with the facility that's not dealt with and had been not addressed , the adults protect each other from it but not the students and that needs to be handled .

Majority of the teacher I've had at Absegami were very supportive and kind. I had to go through a difficult time when my mom passed away before my graduation. The school community showed support for my family. However, there could still be some improvements such as lunch. The food had improved throughout the years but there are still some days where the food has gone bad.

Absegami is overall a very good school. The teachers are well trained and know how to teach their certified class well. The community and school body is very friendly and welcoming, as well as the counselors. Although, it is not the safest school. From fights and threats, to people and parents. Overall, it should be a lot more safer, without having bathrooms being locked all the time.
