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.

My son went to Adams all four years. Academically he did great. When he became a senior I felt that the counselor could if done a better job of helping students get scholarships. But overall I think Adams was a great public school for those that can't afford the private schools. My son went to a school in middle school that you had to take test then after that he went to Adams. I feel like that was the best public school to attend.

I would like more college readiness and more parent involvement. If there was ever a safety concern, parents do not get calls all we get is emails and what happens if we don't have notifications and check our email daily. Thank you

I loved my high school mainly for the athlete department especially the track department. Coach Rivera and Spencer are hands down the best track coaches ever!
