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.

Every day that I attend Alleghany High School is an experience, not only is it calm and peaceful, but also full of students who get along so well. With teachers that become like family, with no fear to talk to them when you need it. As of what I can say so far, it's been amazingly great experience for a small town like ours. I love how all students get along well, problems are solved and we have a voice. I wish there was a slight change, a change of teachers, if only there could be more, it would help immensely. The teachers here are capable of a diverse of things, a little bit of help wouldn't bother

Lots of people will get bullied and the teachers wouldnt even notice or would do nothing about it. There is also a lot of drama and rumors going around and no one tries to end it. Also with the nurse she is only here for two days, sometimes just one, and lots of times people need her and she wouldnt be here.

Every teacher is completely different. I have only seen/knew a few teachers in this high school that genuinely care about the students, their achievements, and their enjoyment and understanding of every class. Grading consistency is unheard of. Sometimes they "curve" grades, sometimes they let them re-take tests they have failed, etc. To me , that is not a good example for a child like mine, that studies hard, makes a 99 or 100 on a test and another child fails the test, gets to go home, study more, and re-take the test.

This is a pretty average school to me. I went there my senior year and all of the other students seemed to accept me. This school could improve more if the staff acted more professional and INFORMED you about everything that is going on. I had to find anything that I wanted to know myself, and it wa...
