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 personally liked The Academies of West Memphis High School. They offered a wide variety of activities and programs, you have so many choices to be active in your community. The teachers were all professional and caring. The math teachers specifically were wonderful.

The best parts would probably be the people you get involved with. Most of the teachers are there to really help you. The worst parts would probably be the dress code. They add on each year very unnecessary things.

I love it here. I love the atmosphere and the people. I love my teachers and friends. The violence is tough though, but that's just West Memphis in general.

It was a mixed bag really really many of the difficulties were with the implementation of rules that don't make sense, such as the fore mentioned hood rule and the bathroom rule.
