AG is a great school. The teachers try their best to help us with any problems we have. One thing I had a problem with at the school my first year, is the diversity. I'm mixed, and went to a elementary school that was full of all types of races. Over half of AG is one race, but it fine.

I have had two students attend AG. As with all NC middle schools the curriculm is not as advanced as I would have liked in the study of literature and writing. The math area is very strong and science (depending on the teacher). This school has consistantly had strong principals and assistants. The

I think Ms Principal is doing a good job, considering student distribution there. However, my children often have difficulties in the restroom, class, and the hallway, probably because they are real minority(neither white nor black).

This is not a good school for children who are not knowledgeable or on their grade level, the teachers here are more apt to work with the kids who already know and are less concerned about teaching the ones who's not sure or dont understand.

I currently attend AG, and I find it a very wonderful school. If I don't understand something, I just tell my teacher, and they help me out with everything they can. I have made the honor roll twice this year, and that is because of the wonderful teachers. 6th-8th graders can participate in clubs.

We came in third place, and we couldn't have done it without the support of our teachers, and of course, our coach. Every Friday, we are instructed to write a letter to our parents, telling how our week went. Then we have to get it signed over the weekend. That is to be sure that our parents know what is going on in our school and daily lives. If my review of my current middle school says anything, it is a great school. Read less
