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.

Apollo high school has really good opportunities to take honors and AP courses. It is also a really good school to get involved in because of the amount of clubs and sports.

I had some great memories at Apollo High School my freshman year. There is so many clubs and sports to join that could peak an interest. I played both volleyball and softball at Apollo. Apollo High School sports were super fun and inclusive, although one thing they lacked was their competitiveness. It was fun to play, but it was not a great experience because we lost more than we won.

I went all 4 years at Apollo and I'm proud to say it's where I went. I was able to graduate in the top 10% of my class and I obtained scholarships for my future all bc of my teachers and counselor at Apollo. I also attended NJROTC and I was led by the best in the state and am looking forward to my career in the Navy as an officer, all bc of Commander McCammon. I'm getting my masters degree in Aeronautical Engineering and then going into the US Navy. Thank Apollo for setting my path to success.

This school sucks! The teachers are not as supportive as they seem and even sometimes bully their students, like one time I witnessed a teacher shaming an athlete for being on JV and refused to acknowledge him as athlete. Even more, the attendance office is completely disorganised and rude. They ref...

The school curriculum is outstanding with amazing teachers. The school classrooms are very modern as well. Our children did very well here! We were a little worried being we were from out of state but then extremely relieved once we met the staff and Principal. Great sports, arts and theater classes...
