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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

My overall experience at Achievement First Hartford High School was enjoyable and beneficial, but also challenging.

When it comes to actually receiving a high school education this is the best school for that. It is nothing short of a great time and a great experience. You will be challenged and at times it will feel very difficult but as long as you persevere you will make it.
