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.

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.

Avonworth High School has helped prepare me for college with the integration of Future Ready. I feel as though my education is valued here, and every teacher is willing to work with students to solve any potential issues. Avonworth does a lot for our student culture by organizing events, communicating with students, and increasing our diversity with our exchange kids.

Avonworth has a lot of good qualities, however being in the school while it's under construction has some negative effects on the students. The academics here are pretty good, however some of the teachers aren't the best choices for these students. The students are really talented in sports and clubs, theatre, etc. the school spirit is great here. It's a great public school for all people.

This school is quite small compared to other high schools I have seen. I think this brings our community closer together because everyone knows everybody. It has a good atmosphere and fun activities during special weeks such as homecoming, prom, holidays, etc. The sports here are also very fun to watch, and everyone is very supportive of the athletes.
