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.

This school is a 50/50 gamble when it comes to anything. You may find a teacher that actually cares about you and how you feel and others don't.

This is my first year at Armstring. Its nothing like I thought, its not that bad of a school although many things can improve. If u ever been to blackwell or Thomson (Elkhart Thomson) then you'll be fine. If u haven't then it might be a new experience for u but just stay calm and be cool and you'll be fine.
