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.

My experience has been wonderful. Everyone is so nice here and the teachers are amazing and I love my sports. I would like to see the grading system change though.

My overall experience with academy park high school was a chapter book. It was look and full of events, you never know what's about to happen next.

My overall experience at Academy Park High School has been a mixed bag. The best parts are the activities I participate in such as soccer and band. The worst parts are the amount of fights, drama, and the riot that happened because the school board banned hoodies. Some changes I would like to see implemented are more school trips, more school clubs and better allocation of funds to parts of the school that need them.
