Does High School reputation matter in admissions process?

Before the start of my junior year I moved to a different state and attended a different high school. My freshman GPA (3.2) and sophomore GPA (3.4) were pretty bad and I took no AP’s, at a school with a very poor reputation for academics and environment. My junior year I took 3 AP’s, had a better GPA(3.5) and attended a school ranked as one of the top in the country. Will the differing reputations matter much in the admissions process? Because these schools differed both in their curriculum and environment.
