This school is basically a popularity contest that begins with the teachers. The teachers (if you want to call them that) are severely lacking in their own education so how would they be able to teach your children? I graduated from this school and was totally unprepared for college even with a 3.75 GPA (which doesn't mean much because I slacked off quite a bit). Luckily, after severely applying myself I have obtained a Master's degree from a large university; however, this "school" did nothing to help me attain that goal. Not everyone is as gifted as I am. If you value your children's education get them as far away from this school as possible.

This school is a joke academically.. AP courses require no extra effort, teachers are too lenient on work, and the curriculum is way, way behind.. I moved schools my senior year to a better school (academically) and am struggling in non-AP classes. Other things are focused on at this school-- tattling, social media fights, drama, etc. (THINGS THAT HAPPENED OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL) when it should be focused on education. If you're looking for a school that will challenge your child academically, go elsewhere.

I attended Ada High and found the school to be a great school. I felt very well prepared for college and had no problem with the transition from high school to college academically. Sports (football) is overemphasized but brings the entire school together. I now have 2 kids and I wouldn't send them anywhere else in the area. I like the small town feel although it is the largest school in the area!

Seriously... This site had Ada rated at an 8 and Latta at a 7. I moved both of my kids from Ada to Latta. One was struggling simple because she had teachers who did not care. The other was an 'AP' student. At Latta the one who was AP works to keep an A/B average. The one who was struggling got the help she needed and is now doing well.
