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.

I have attended ATCO High every since 9th grade. This upcoming school year I will be a senior, and experience at ATCO has been amazing. As my high school journey soon comes to an end I can say I've lived the best high school years along with supportive teachers, the most amazing friends, and most importantly the help of others to get me through what needed. The one thing I would change would be time, so I could go back and relive it all.

I don't know who that other teacher that gave tje school a bad review, but they must have had a chip embedded in their shoulder, not just on it. I have recently accepted a teaching position at ATCO high, and I can tell you it is the best school I have ever had the pleasure of teaching. The staff is...
