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.

Throughout my high school career, I found that Apollo has been a truly wonderful school. It's before school and after school learning centers made keeping up with my work doable.

As a current senior at Apollo High School, being able to make friends no matter what my interests or classes I took is what made my school life much more enjoyable. Witnessing the school come together on game days (no matter what sport) is a beautiful sight. There are some downsides such as some teachers not putting much effort into their students. Other than that, everything else is just fine as it is, even though there can always be improvement.

Apollo high school was really amazing. The teacher their really care for your future and will alway try to find way to help prepare you for the future. Not only the teacher, but the student here are amazing as well. Every where you go, of their a student that need help, their will alway be a couple of student already going to the student in need.

The teachers are not as supportive as they seem and even sometimes bully their students, like one time I witnessed a teacher shaming an athlete for being on JV and refused to acknowledge him as athlete. Even more, the attendance office is completely disorganised and rude. They ref...

The school curriculum is outstanding with amazing teachers. The school classrooms are very modern as well. Our children did very well here! We were a little worried being we were from out of state but then extremely relieved once we met the staff and Principal. Great sports, arts and theater classes...
