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.

Allen High School has so many clubs and activities so it's relatively easy to get involved. The lunch lines however are wayy too long and we only get 30 minutes to eat, so often times I have to eat lunch in the classroom.

The beautiful part of Allen High School is the connection inside or outside the classroom. A strong community is built around you, full of support. However, the dedication and effort from each student is absent. I would like to see a role and drive from every student, as we gain knowledge for the future.

There's a large student body and many programs such as dual credit or IB or AP offered. Additionally, because of its size, I belive Allen will make assimilating to college easier. There's a lot of qualified teachers but also some that shouldn't be teaching.

He had a video on his Cel...

Students with disabilities may find themselves learning advocacy rather than reading, writing and arithmetic. Yes, the school does have many outstanding programs but if your child needs additional supports, they will effectively find themselves without access to those same, tax payer supported progr...

Allen High School was once a great school. It could have been better if the school size isn't too large. The 2022 Class NHS club is very unorganized. The service hour recording system is not reflecting the correct status that misleading the students. The status is approved; but not counted because i...
