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 had a pretty solid experience at SASHS. The Teachers I had were always available to help, I was given the opportunity to go to technical school at the Franklin County Career Tech Center, they offer plenty of AP courses that have a very high success rate, the sports teams do well for the division, and the buildings were all well maintained.

It is a decent school just underfunded. The bathrooms are gross. It is in a nice location though. It just needs more funding to be honest. They have great academics. Overall decent teachers.

My children had and are having a positve experience with the Shippensburg schools. The "hands on" learning style of most of the teachers is greatly appreciated!

The quality of the academic programs is based heavily on the great abilities of the teachers to encourage learning in their classrooms. Most extracurricular activities are available and even some that I have not seen in other schools.
