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.

The way the school and community gathers together for different sports events is amazing.

Racism in this school is atrocious ...in all directions. Multiple fights occur daily which happens in all school because kids today are savage but the fights at archer are knock down drag out brawls. Two students brought guns on the same day and the students were taken in but no lockdown happened......
