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.

The best part about my experience at Adams has by far been the sports I have played. I play travel soccer which is also my main sport at Adams but this past spring I joined the tennis team which was such a fun and welcoming environment for my first time ever playing the sport. Overall I have loved the majority of my teachers but the math department at Adams is a little rough. Change that I would like to see at Adams is a cleaner environment and more attention to our math department.

My High School experience felt quite like an all around American school. There were not many problems that had occurred during my time there related to me. They were obsessed with sports and had a better than average education system. I quite enjoyed both the athletics and educations at my school, until I was closer to graduating years. The athletics became aggravating filled with favorite acts in the team members and on the sport.

My experience has been a roller coaster of emotions. In my freshman year, I fell into a depression during COVID-19, but now, as a senior, I feel like I am on Cloud 9. I feel this school is making me think of myself as successful, and I can do successful things with my life, which is fantastic.

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!
