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.

Agua Fria High School has provided me with the opportunity to excel academically as well as with sports and other programs. I have been able to pursue my passion for golf on the Men's Varsity Golf Team and my passion for aviation as part of the Air Force ROTC program for 3 years. I have made some friendships that will last a lifetime. As for the worst part, I guess there are a lot of fights. If i could change something I would like to see the golf program grow.

Agua Fria is a great school it has amazing teachers, and stuff and everyone is kind and fun. We get a lot of resources and event , but sometimes we are not informed of everything we need to graduate or of all our resources.

Agua Fria was so very fun and I am grateful to have attended the school all four of my years. I joined softball and badminton my years there and the found family I have with my teammates and coach has made my life better and shaped me as a person. Not only this but my great experience with teachers and staff who I consider my mentors had prepared me for my future endeavors. I will miss it.
