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.

Americas High School is an amazing place. I've been very happy there. It took me a while to make friends. But once I did my high school experience was incredible. The extracurricular programs are innovative with limited resources. Our sports teams are exceptional and while I wish there was more security to improve student safety on campus, our teachers do a lot to ensure we're ready for the future. To give us the best quality education possible.

Overall, Americas High School is a normal and calm school. One positive aspect of the campus that should be recognized is the faculty. You can tell that most of the school's teachers enjoy their jobs and genuinely care about their students. Now, one negative about the school is the bathrooms. They are terribly outdated due to their scratched-up and foggy mirrors and the bathroom stalls huge gaps between each other.
