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 parts about my experience at this school were how interconnected everyone was with each other. Everyone knew who everyone was and there was an overall strong community. The more negative parts about my experience was the lack of education opportunities for careers based off of language services, and there mostly was a lack of options to choose from in general.

APW is a small district. With my experience, the music program is a big family and we all look out for each other. Teachers are willing to stay after school until the sun sets if it means helping their students. The school was very prepared when getting ready to reopen schools, and are supplying every student with laptops and are supplying unlimited internet free of charge to students who had none.

APW is a school with very little diversity but what little they have is constantly being tormented by the conservative bullies. They are low rated in academics why have is true and they have some awful teachers. Their band program is great and the Music teacher Anthony Veiga is a total boss.

Many of the teachers have only a mediocre understanding of what they are teaching. The classes available are very basic with no AP options. The administration isn't particularly bright and bases many of it's hiring practices on nepotism instead of merit. The pay is fairly low for teachers compared t...
