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.

I love AMCS. I switch right before my Junior year in high school and I am about to graduate with all of my General Requirements for my major. AMCS is a high school run out of the University of Alaska Anchorage which allows high school students to take college classes while still being allowed to take classes, sports, and be involved with clubs at their home high school. Every experience I have had here has been positive and I highly recommend it.

This program is amazing. It enables high schoolers to take college classes early to get a head start on their college education. This program was an exellent fit for me, and I hope that it continues to thrive.

I love everything about the Alaska Middle College school. The teachers take time to connect with their students and guide them. There are tutors all day through out the day that are willing to help.
