Hardly any teachers, have the nurse subbing classes due to lack of staff. A few “specials”, stem, finance, art, music, home economics. No teachers to teach these specials. They moved the home economics teacher to biology to fill the bio position. Bad district. Not many opportunities for sports (besides soccer). No college readiness. There was maybe 2 high level courses (AP) when i graduated in 2023. Like a lot of other students from this school, I was behind in college and needed a lot of classes that most freshmen in college already took at their hs. Pick another district, this isn’t a place I will ever send my kids.

Acmetonia Elementary School has made many excellent upgrades like a new band/chorus addition and the newer addition for 4,5,6th students. The staff are creative and offer additional assistance for children who display a slower learning pace. The district keeps the school well supplied with learning supplies and equipment. Security at the school is better than 10 years ago and all access doors are always locked BUT would it would be desirable to have a full time armed guard at EACH school location in the AVSD district. All in all, this is a school that offers an exciting learning concept and excellent student/teacher ratios.
