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.

August Martin is a great school with a lot of great teachers who really know their stuff. They have a wide variety of programs and encourage students to create their own path in life rather than pushing them to a path. However, August Martin does not offer much extracurriculars as there is barely any clubs or sports teams.

My experience in August Martin High School has been one of if not the best high school experience of my life. I was able to go on my first college trip and actually get excited for my classes due to the diversity and determination that my teachers imbue in me. I also developed a love for art while I was here it caused me to develop skills I would've never thought possible the curriculum is rigorous but rewarding and it's only my first year here I wish I had the extra three to be so much more involved with my school and could've possibly fathom the endless possibilities that lay waiting for me at this amazing institution. If only but it's a great school and the teachers always do their best as well as the administration and I will always hold my time here at August Martin High school as my best highschool experience and also as one of the best years of my life to it's brought about so much passion for me and helped me realize my love for school all over again highly recommend.
