Unless you have money to constantly donate to the school your kids will be treated like crap. We are a low income family that struggles and my kids get blamed for EVERYTHING without ANY proof and anytime I report bullying nothing ever gets done and I never hear back there is a Tik Tok video of my daughter sobbing and being bullied on the bus the kid uploaded and nothing got done my daughter was told horrible sexual things by students nothing ever got done I heard nothing. If you have money your kids are secure if your struggling like us they'll make your kids the scapegoat for everything

Got bullied in 6th grade by a group of girls and they put me in the same room as them with the former assistant principal to make us "talk it out", thinking that'll work. Afterwards, The bullying escalated in many ways until 8th grade when I moved to another school. Never spoke up about it because I felt I'd be not taken seriously and invalidated, or how I've been treated didn't pass as 'real' bullying. My mental health became much worse since then, and no matter how much I think I've healed from this situation, I'll always feel like I'm a burden in my friendships or everyone is out to get and hurt me. This wasn't just 'drama' between teenage girls, it's a systematic failure by the people who were supposed to protect me. During my school days there, I've seen kids getting specifically targeted in classrooms and the teachers seem completely apathetic or act like nothing's happening, leaving the victim to fend for themselves in an environment that's supposed to make them feel welcome.. I'm speaking up because I've seen a pattern. Not only was my situation handled ineffectively,, I've also noticed that neurodivergent students are being bullied while the teachers remain indifferent. A school cannot claim to be inclusive while it's most bullied students are being bullied without any intervention. For parents who want to enroll their children into this school, be aware that their 'conflict resolution' and bullying policy is ineffective and the staff's indifference towards bullying is a serious safety concern. Nobody should feel like they're a burden or easy target. Nobody should feel the way I did.

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.
