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.

Overall I had a very good experience attending Apponequet. There were a variety of classes allowing everyone to take a course that they enjoyed. The teachers and staff all cared for the well being of the students and allowed for learning and growth to take place. One thing that I would change would be the athletics program as the fields and other areas of the program could use some improvement.

Apponequet is an amazing school to thoroughly prepare you for college. The students at apponequet lack ethnic diversity and the majority of the attendees are white. Apponequet does not get the funding it deserves. Apponequet is also known for its excellent MCAS scores in the 2019 school year.

Apponequet is an academically strong school, where they foster the students drive to learn. Though the school is academically advanced it lacks in diversity both in population and opinions. The teachers truly care for their students and help them to become strong smart individuals who are given the cards to thrive in the future.

We moved to this town in 98, I sent my first 2 children to this school but my last child did not want to go to this school and chose Old Colony. I have found that OC is a much better school, shows more interest in the students, has so much more to offer the students, and there are far less clicks. E...
