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.

As a sophomore my experience has not been good there. People are always acting better than everyone else and the staff does not try to resolve any issues. Are sports are not very good and neither is the food. Many of the teachers are rude towards students. It seems like they care more about renovating than teaching us anything useful. Many students there also smoke in the bathrooms and have brought drugs to school and barely get into any trouble for it.

Apollo High School has very good teachers and very involved administration. The administration is always cheerful and have something positive to say. Most of the school is newly reconstructed and is very nice and clean. Covid took away my opportunity to have the full experience here, yet I still enjoyed the time I had. There are students from all over that attend Apollo High School, and I think it is on of the most diverse schools in ur area.
