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 school is very small which allows for you to know everyone and the teachers get tot work with you more.

Appalachian is a small school with a hard working community that supports the students and athletes anyway they can. Whether that be volunteering to help at events to donating money for our sports teams to go to state. The school itself has a few quirks but our staff tries their best to work with what they have to provide a sound learning environment for all of the students.
