Showed obvious signs of neglect while attending this school when I was younger. School never ever even asked about home life, took me to the councilor or reported it. Had a teacher in 2nd grade that was extremely rude to kids, and after that year wouldn’t even look at me. Also in 2nd grade, a boy in my class would hit on himself when stressed/ got things wrong, sometimes extremely hard and teachers would say “don’t do that” before going back to whatever they were doing. Once i ended up dislocating my knee during a P.E. Activity. Got to sit in a chair for about 5-10 minutes before being forced back into P.E., despite still being in pain. My guardian didn’t even get a text about the inquiry… Hopefully this school has changed since then, but for now I still wouldn’t put my trust in it.

I subbed here and it was by far the worst school I have ever encountered. Students made inappropriate comments about me and were not respectful toward me, others and themselves. Many students cursed each other out, hit each other and were on their phones despite the no phone law. Some students talked about how they were in a gang and others talked about how they were planning to fight someone. Some also spoke about engaging in inappropriate, underage activities. I would never come back to this school.

there is no real review out on ACHS right now BECAUSE WE HAVE KIDS ARE TAUGHT OUR VOICES, DO NOT MATTER BECAUSE WE ARE “JUST KIDS” THEY ARE REWARDING TEACHERS WHILE LEAVING KIDS TO STRUGGLE AND FIGURE IT OUT. a good amount of 50-60 teachers who care about the students & even for them it can get exhausting because they are tired of teaching kids who are never motivated because they are always being let down. our high school years are supposed to be the best years of our lives and our most important but they prioritize our scores over our mental health. although it’s not their fault because of the lack of funding, teachers and administration should want to help the kids WANT to learn, not shove everything in their face and expect them to. teachers don’t understand how to get a kids attention. They don’t understand how to speak to a kid. They don’t understand how to treat a clearly struggling child who just needs support and guidance and patience. as an adult and a teacher you’re supposed to lead and not just think because you’re getting a paycheck doesn’t mean you’re doing a good job. there have been multiple occasions where I as a student have been late to class, pushing kids in wheelchairs to their class because a teacher were administration simply wouldn’t when they are clearly struggling. Like every school, they only care about how people view them on the outside not how the kids feel. They reward teachers while ignoring struggling kids who clearly do not want to be here. THESE KIDS NEED SUPPORT AND MOTIVATION NOT A SUPERVISOR TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE DOING WHAT THEY ARE “SUPPOSED” TO DO. This is coming from a real student who is sick and tired of watching LIE on this surveys about the school just so they can get done with it and do their work. It’s sickening and none of the teachers seem to pick up that WE NEED HELP. My generation is failing miserably and all they can blame is our phones and social media not any past mistakes leading to this future instead, they focus on their paychecks because they won’t be here to see what we do with our future.
