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.

I only went for my last year of high school during the pandemic. The teachers I had where all so accommodating and patient with me and my family. Classes online where an adjustment but the teachers still managed to make it fun and interesting. I don't really have anything bad to say about the school, any negativity I had was because of personal reasons.

Apalachee High School has made many great changes recently due to a tragic event that occurred on September 4th. We have excellent mental health resources and counselling services available to students and staff which we can take advantage of at any point throughout the day. We've been able to make the best of a horrible situation as a community, and that perseverance and unity has been a great part of my experience at Apalachee.

Apalachee so far has been a great school academic wise. Teachers are very knowledgeable in their subject and assign relevant course work to better improve ones skills. The level of education provided is effective in helping me learn and reach my full potential. Futhermore many students tend to be welcoming and social at Apalachee when I first moved there not too long ago. The only complaint I have is my ap teachers taking two whole months to put my grades in and lack of explanations about the class standards and procedures. Various of clubs and opportunities are advertised well to students.

Every bad review on here is correct. If your child is a child that anything other than Caucasian expect for them to be treated differently. The principle, Jennifer Martin, had her sister-in-law working as an assistant principal at the same school. They favor any child that has a parent staff member....

This organization is a joke, there is no real support for students or parent. They only offer lip service. If your child is having issues and is not able to articulate to you; don't just blame your child. There is probably a real issue that can significantly impact their future success. The s2p pipe...

There are several factors that make a great school: supportive teachers, engaged admin, parental involvement/support & relevant curriculum. Apalachee HS has none of these. Progressive teachers pushing personal agendas, in fighting of staff & a do as I say, not as I do mentality is what your children...
