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 think Achieve Early College High school is the type of school where you can express yourself freely without the fear of embarrassment. All the students are very involved in all the different events and activities around the school. And everyone in the school mostly know each other because of how small the school is. I think they need to work on how they deal with issues that happen at the school such as bullying. I don't believe administration takes it as seriously as it needs to be taken which can just cause further issues.

Achieve is pretty great ! The community is really close, and the general school culture/pride is great. Love the principal. Can be a lot of schoolwork, but because it's an advanced school with a lot of opportunities, it's worth it.

This is school is the best school in the valley by far. Administration, teachers, and staff go the extra mile to assist students and parents. It's the best school to get a head start on college courses.

I loved going to school at Achieve. It's a very close knit environment with a lot of support from the students and staff and has the best teachers to guide you. You feel prepared for the college classes you take and there is always help available when you're struggling. The workload is intense, but...

This school is currently being nominated by the blue ribbon award. The fact that this school got nominated is amazing because the state nominates a few schools throughout the entire state and AECHS is one of them. This should say a lot about this school.
