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.

My experience in Archimedes at first wasn't the very best but it has been a good 4 years because I had amazing teachers to help me graduate and get to where I am now.

What I liked about this school was the way the teachers would connect with some of the students on a personal level. If they were having issues with something going on the teachers would pick up on it and lend a hand or speak with the student to see if there was anything that they can do to help. What I would like to see change would be some of the faculty and college readiness. I feel that the school is average at preparing the students with the skills they need to be successful in college.

This is a 6-12 school. This school is the worst school ever. If you want your child/children to become something in life, don't send your child here. The name of the school is Archimedes academy of technology, however there's no technology. There's not even a library for the kids in the building. No...
