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.

Argonaut is a small-town school in a small county. Resources and education are limited, and college is not often spoken about.

I have enjoyed my experience at Argonaut high school. The English teachers here are excellent. As a whole, all of the staff are super supportive and will go out of their way to help you in any way they can and make learning exciting. There is a lack of funding, however, making some of the facilities dated looking.

Overall the school is okay it’s just some of the teachers that are just crazy and are not being replaced. The office Will not touch them all they can do is promise a new teacher when the year is over and your no longer in the class. All I can say is fire the history teacher Simmons.

Fantastic. Great, caring teachers within a great community. Not the same opportunities as a large city school but enough school activities available to keep interested kids busy.
