What people are saying

by a parent
Sunday, May 15, 2011

Argos Community Schools are a throw-back to good discipline, high expectations and family. Their state testing scores are traditionally the highest of all the schools in the county--an over twenty year record. In 2009-2010, 30+% of graduates passed an Advanced Placement Exam. This places little Argos in the top 30 or 40 schools in the entire state. Despite not being a wealthy district, Argos has been one of the few schools in our county to grow with out-of-district students looking for something better. Close Quote
