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 been at allderdice for 4 years and I am very glad I went here. While Allderdice isn't perfect, no school is. The school has some issues with their teachers and faculity members, but over all the staff has been great. The theatre program is amazing and I loved my english and history classes.

The best parts are when we have bonding events like a Pep Rally and other things like that. The students make the school fun.
