I think AHS is probably the best school that I have been to. I have been to quite a few school. But yet I believe this is by far the best school. I love the people here, they are very nice.

In my opinion and experience this school has got to have more tolerance for special education students. Attending this school for some disabled students is punshment enough without the adminatration punishing them further for their actions directly related to their disability. We have had nothing but

Ok I went to AHS 4 years graduated from it and even tho AHS wasn't the best all around it wasn't the worst. Sure it had its problems, but it still wasn't that bad and they are working to improve it as we speak. I made some great friends there and the teachers I had were awesome and was heart broken

AHS is the one of the worst schools I have ever seen. They think more about the football program than the educational part of the school. They also have the most disorganized program I have ever seen. How can they teach the students to be on time when the coaches haven't a clue about time or schedules.
... Read more Sports don't help the kids as much as an education. The coaches talk about what college is watching who. When they should be teaching them about what an education will do for you. Because only 1 in 10,000 kids will be picked by a college team or get a scholarship, but everybody can get a good education. Wake up AHS, help the kids. Read less

Serving on student council these past three years I've been at Apalachee has helped me see the school with a 'different eye'. We do the best we can with what we have and are soo under-rated, this in part because WBHS is held on a pedstel. It might sound biast comming from an allumni, but we deserve more
... Read more respect than we recieve. Our education is of equal and even of a higher grade than that of our 'cross town rivals'. Yes, they may offer more courses than AHS, but what does it matter if they have a higher percentage in failing grades that those of Apalachee. I've been in classrooms with too many and just enough students to even have the class exist and in both I have found genuine distiction, contributing to the growth and new additions to school. Feel free to come visit and see for yourself. Read less

I am an Apalachee alum. I have recently graduated from the University of Georgia and plan on attending law school. The instruction of the teachers and the guidance of the counseling staff at Apalachee has more than adequately prepared me for my success in the states leading college. Parents and students

Apalachee is doing everything in their power to ensure the best education for its students with the resources it is allotted. I m not asking persons to be trusting of the system, but I am asking parents and students to take more responsibility for each student and insert themselves more in the learning community. I encourage those who attack the school to first assess unbiasly ones own contributions to the educational investment in the student. Read less

Apalachee is a good school. However, Parents Must make complaints to appropriate persons in order for change to occur. Even if that means taking the complaint to the Board of Education and School Superintendant. I think with the new Administrator coming next year Apalachee's future looks very bright!!!
