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.

I graduated from this high school. If it wasn't for the staff I had in high school, I probably would have never graduated. They pushed me to do the best I could and helped me achieve my high school diploma.

The is a combination of middle school and high school. The building is not built for that many students. There is no actual library with books that you can check out. There also aren't many resources you can reach out to when you are struggling. Also, helping prepare students for college should be super important, showing students how to apply and look for scholarships. There is no variety in classes, just the basics, and they also can not keep teachers.

The best parts of Algonac High were how small the school. Everybody knows everyone. This allows for a tighter nit community while also still being able to communicate with the teachers. The worst part can be with them adding so many new rules 2023-2024. Instead of treating high schoolers like high schoolers we are treated as elementary schoolers. I get why for the younger grades, but seniors shouldn't be.

School genuinely cares about their students. Excellent curriculum that prepares them for college. They have all the necessary tools to do excellent work, each having their own Apple iPad. They hold antibullying rallies, anti-drug rallies reducing all these things from within their school. My son has...
