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.

Overall, I have loved my school over the past 4 years. I have loved being involved with the arts, honors societies, and rigor in academics. Especially this past month with the tragedy at Apalachee, it has truly brought the community together and allowed us to grow.

Apalachee high school is a small town school. I like the fact it is easy to get in touch with your teachers if you ever needed anything. Marching Band at Apalachee is the best experience ever. They are always excited to learn, to help, to motivate, and to better themeselves as young adults. I would like to see some rules chnage and how teachers apporach their students.

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...
