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.

My experience at American History High school overall has been pretty good ! I would recommend, they have Good Teachers, get the opportunity to meet new people, educational but it can get boring sometimes and it's small .

Not a great experience at all. If you want to thrive as a student I do not recommend you go here. The opportunities are very limited and not to mention the building is lacking. 2-3 stalls in a bathroom, 1 gym and a cafetorium. I will say that I had some amazing teachers but other than that I don't recommend going here.

They require you to take 5 years of mathematical courses. You have to keep a 2.0 or higher to remain a student. You don't...
