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 about Atlee is by far the football games. We may not be the best by a long shot, but our team always puts in a lot of effort and gives the students, parents, and faculty a good show. The worst part is the social groups. Too many people doing the wrong thing and continuing to do wrong no matter how many times they get reprimanded and they bring the vibes of the school down a lot.

The best part about Atlee I like is that it feels safe. You can move freely like if you were swimming in a pool. There's nothing bad I think about this school. If you join a club or sports you open more doors to not only opportunities but also making new friends. This is a school I would highly recommend students go to because teachers are awesome, there are resources students can use, and everyone is cool. Its not a stressful environment, would definitely recommend to other students.

The best part about Atlee High School I think are certain teachers. Many of them are extremely nice and put themselves out there to help their students even if it doesn't benefit them. The worst thing, however, are some of the other staff members who don't take their job as seriously and don't try to help the students at all. I would like to see a change where teachers focus on the students as individuals and not try to just benefit themselves but the overall student body.

Excellent overall. From academics, to sports, to arts - I think Atlee was a great experience for kids/young adults. Definitely not perfect, but mixing it all together, it is very well done and the teachers and administration are overall superior. I wish every person/parent could feel this way, and w...

Excellent!! My children have received an excellent education that prepared them for college and beyond! However not all students will attend college, and those who don’t have multiple opportunities for training in a trade at the high school level. And those who choose to serve in the military get sp...

Questionable character with some of the teachers. Favoritism for certain families and their children. Overall, I would like to suggest stop covering up issues at Atlee. It is not good for the success of the children. Some teachers are too friendly with the male and female students. Do a survey monke...
