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.

The best part is the environment and the teachers. They prepared me for college in more than one way. I found myself excelling in college because of my high school teachers. The only thing I would change is the way clubs work. Most of them consist of the same kids, and often, there is little communication between the groups and the students within the school.

Well as a graduate of this high school im happy its over. Honestly the school was an experiment they tried yrs prior combining the 2 schools and it failed then. I was 1st class to graduate that went 7-12 in the new school. And unfortunately so many students suffered bullying and fights etc. This schook had been on the news for so many bad things ive lost track. This school is so non diverse its bad. Kids use racial slurs constantly and get away with it because of the non diversity of it. The teachers r political as well as students and its "ok" apparently. Tons of students bullied a female goalie at a hockey game making fun or her being female also they made fun of a trans student. This school isn't equipped to deal with things bigget then its a county views unfortunately. And maybe it will get better i doubt it though.

My overall experience at Armstrong Junior/Senior High School was enjoyable. The teachers were extremely helpful in both academics and future planning. I felt prepared for college after my time at Armstrong.
