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.

Overall I've had really nice experience at Apollo high-school. There are plenty of clubs or sports available for everyone to participate in. One thing I was not pleased with is teachers not making sure all students are properly prepared for the follow year. There are very few times where interactions with students or teachers haven't been good. I would like to see teachers change their way of approaching problems with students. I hope my final year continues to be the same nice experience I've been having.

My overall experience with Apollo High School has been great. The people, teachers, students are each different in there ways and share their views and perspectives of world in order to prepare us students for the future. Although it may have a hispanic majority our school involves all cultures.

It is very amazing when you are involved in sports and clubs. Example: I have been involved with clubs since freshman year and I am still a good student. You learn to manage your time as well as having fun at school with clubs and sports going around.
