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.

Armstrong Junior/Senior High School teaches students sufficiently however some teachers can benefit from teaching more rigorously or with more direction. Misbehaving students are usually immediately taken care of however sometimes not in the best fashion to ensure it doesn't happen again.

The best part of my experience is that it's a safe and fun place all around. The worst part of my experience was the teacher doing always understand that they aren't teaching you the way you should learn. I would like to see less bullying and just a more laid back school that people enjoy coming to and enjoying being with there friends and feel safe In the building
