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 with the Air Force Academy High School has been great these past 4-years. The connections and admiration around the school show how much they care through their hard work. I'm proud to say choosing this school is one of my best decisions and I won't change it. I've been able to grow as an individual and how people my true colors through my hard work. A school like this will bring out the best in you if you take advantage of the resources. Though everything isn't all sunshine and rainbows the school still holds up really well and puts their all in for the students. It's my last year and I hate to say it but I will be graduating soon and will have to leave it behind but I understand that this school is where it started for me. It has room for improvement because it isn't perfect but it's perfect for me.
