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.

My experience has been a good one. I would say the change in teachers and administration has been a hard thing some of the time. Overall it is not a bad school it has many clubs and programs to enter and it has lots of teacher involvement. I would change the organization skills of the district and I would change the college readiness, I believe that if we where more prepared and it went to all the students and not just those in AVID that it would be very beneficial to all.

We don't have hardly any extracurricular activities. The clubs at Amador High School are very small and will rarely do anything outside of school.

I have attended this school for the past three years now and I must say that it is an excellent school. The teachers are attentive and you can really form a bond with them like I have with some of my own teachers. They expect you to do your best and when they see your potential, they will press you...

Very political place...positives: good principal, several electives offered. Negatives: the English dept, attitude of favoritism on the part of several teachers, too many teachers allow themselves to be distracted from their job by involvement in sports (as coaches). Suggest going to a private schoo...
