This is the worst school I have ever dealt with. Communication between teachers and administration is virtually nonexistent, leaving parents constantly chasing information that should be proactively shared.The newly formed CSS program is extremely disappointing. It feels poorly planned, incomplete, and lacking meaningful structure. Instead of providing appropriate academic and behavioral support, it functions more like a glorified day care. Expectations are low, follow-through is inconsistent, and there is little evidence of intentional instruction or progress monitoring.The school environment itself is equally troubling. The building is old, depressing, and visibly neglected. Cleanliness is a serious concern—there are bugs, both dead and alive, throughout the building. The overall atmosphere feels outdated and uncared for, which does nothing to support learning, emotional regulation, or student well-being.Additionally, the program site coach stated that she had no experience working with autistic children, yet is responsible for managing the CSS program. Emails routinely go unanswered, communication is minimal, and basic tasks that could easily be handled electronically are instead delayed or handled inefficiently. She is not approachable and seems unavailable, often appearing preoccupied with responsibilities outside of this school.Overall, this school feels stuck in the stone age—outdated practices, poor communication, and minimal accountability. Families of children who require structured, specialized support deserve far better than what is being offered here.I would not recommend this school, especially for students who need consistent, well-designed support programs.

If you care about your child’s safety and well-being, stay away from this school!They lost the paperwork that allowed my daughter’s medication to be administered at school, and no one informed me. No one at the school was concerned enough to notify me that she was not receiving her medication.They transferred her to a Spanish class without my consent, even though she did not pass the exam required to take bilingual classes. They waited until she was close to failing the quarter to tell me that they needed my authorization to move her back to the regular class (yet for the first change, no one asked for my consent).So far this month of February, today is the third time that when we go to pick up my daughter, NO ONE knows where she is. It takes them 45–60 minutes to find her, and they do not allow parents to enter the school.They schedule a parent conference at the school when you request one, and when you arrive, they leave you waiting for over an hour until you get tired and leave.I have already started the process of transferring her to another school, but because they are so irresponsible, they have not provided the required documentation to the new school or to me. They always say they will send it by email, and they never do.I would give zero stars if I could, but that’s not an option. The administration at this school is THE WORST. For the sake of your children, do not enroll them here!!!

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.
