Artesia High is a wonderful school. The entire staff really tries their best with what is given to them. Its not easy to teach at a school where many of the kids come from homes where education is not important or stressed. The campus always looks good and from I here Brian Cota is back at the school.

The entire staff makes a school, but from what I understand, from my child, he makes the staff just that more special. I can't wait to see ehat happens next. Read less

In my opinion, Artesia High School is a great school. It is often underestimated by some people because of its testing scores.

... Read more teachers, counselors, administrators and students. I don't think it is nice for some students to say that teachers at AHS are not that good and that they give a lot of homework. Part of being a student means that you have to do your work. You can't blame it all to the teachers if YOU are the one who procastinate and not do your work as a student. If some teachers lack expectations from the student, then, fine, do your best and show them that you are worthy of their expectations. Read less

Artesia students fall behin academically mainly because they lack motivation from family and friends. If given strong support and encouragement from outside sources, then Artesia High School would be one of the great schools in the ABC Unified School District. Also, students and several faculty members

Participation in school activities and caring about the school's purpose (not just a place to socialize) and campus (keeping it clean!) is something the student body lacks. AP Classes are challenging, if not harder than those offered at other ABC high schools. However, the college prep courses lack high expectations from students. Read less

Administration is so much better now. However, some of that pro-active attitude is falling through the cracks. I thinks its a case of taking on too much - too fast with a need for better support staff.
