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.

There were many aspects that like about Avonworth High School. One of them, despite being a small public institution is the various types of clubs and extracurriculars offered here. Also, the teachers are very compassionate and genuinely care about their students. However, one thing I hope that might change at Avonworth is the being more inclusive to the minority, as there is a relatively small population.
