One look at your skin color and they treat you bad

I’m so glad that my child is at AOC! It’s a small school, about 400 students total, which makes for a tight-knit and welcoming community. My child tells me all the time how everyone is so nice and respectful of one another. At AOC, kids take some college classes at COC, so that upon graduating, they can earn up to 44 units toward their college years and get a lot of their basic college requirements done. The school encourages self-advocacy and maturity, allowing the student to take the lead and preparing them for life in college and beyond. They also teach how the student learns rather than applying the same methods to everyone. I appreciate their group-based and even play-based learning and truly fostering a love of learning and curiosity. I’ve been recommending the school to local friends—it’s a gem in our community.

i went to this school for 2 years 7th-8th, my favorite teachers that helped me so much though out those years were Mr. Galdos, Mr. Simion, Ms. Mariela, Dr. de Lemos, Mrs. de Lemos and Mr. Parent. They helped make school fun and easier to come to!! And shout out to Ms. Alvarez for making ASB fun and making kids have a smile on their faces!

Overall, very happy with this school. My daughter is very happy as well.
