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.

I think the worst parts were more so with the lack of administration and quickness. There was a lot of waiting and I would always have to go in person to double check or even get the confirmation in the first place. It felt like every adult had their own system and made the students have to adapt, which is very difficult when theres over 100 faculty members and I am only one student.

I have had a wonderful experience at Athens over the past four years and I wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere else. From charity week to home games, the students are very involved and full of school spirit. The teacher and faculty are excellent and want you to succeed. I am sad that I am graduating this spring but by being here, I feel prepared to take charge of my future.

I get bullied by almost everyone at this school and even during classes. I cried most of the days during freshmen years showing my devestated mood. Nothing is different with sophomore year as i am still getting bullied. Seeing people so happy in Troy high and IA east make me so sad and depressed. Th...

We decided on moving to Troy due to the great schools. We decided on Athens over Troy HS after driving around and seeing both schools. My child felt more comfortable about attending Athens. We have not been disappointed with the school at all. The teachers and staff have been wonderful and engaging....
