I am a gradudated senoir from this school. While this school was farely decent, they have failed on many, many, fronts. Arrowhead for one has a diversity problem, Arrowhead is 88% white, while it says Arrowhead has 12% "mixed" it's not factual. While yes it can not be possible to force diversity on race - its not all about race. You could just dress slightly differently and no one will talk to you, and people will make fun of you. Even if you have just DIFFERENT HAIR; I had a middle part for my freshman year, got consistanly made fun of (people refusing to talk to me, calling me emo ((had nothing else different)) ) and it made me feel so bad that I changed my hair. Then senior year it became "normal" so now no one cares. The "different dressing kids" where always bullied and harrassed. But I cannot speak for their experinces.The treatment of the Special Ed kids are beyond baffeling. They have been screamed at, dragged out of rooms, and physically hit. While they want them to "experince" normal classes, it isn't normal. It inhibits the learning of the kids in the class, and they don't usaully do any work. When they do have to do work they obv get help but they don't follow what we did in class. Teachers are always hit or miss. They are either intolorable or complete pushovers. You can get the occasonal good teacher that likes to teach and actually does teach. There are teachers that people try to actively avoid, who I did have, and that teacher is nearly impossible. Making things way harder then it has to be.I could go on and on but the point is that this school is horrible. It doesn't have many offering features. It's sports are great but thats about it.Go to a different school.

I have had 3 children at this school, two of which have required special education services. The school has failed to provide FAPE repeatedly. They have been caught manufacturing IEP data, they continue to take a punitive approach vs. providing evidence based positive reinforcement (particularly grades 5 and up), they have failed to communicate changes in special education staff to both parents and students leaving students completely unsupported in navigating change, and are resistant to common evidence based accommodations that require staff to provide individualized supports, and (just as the cherry on top) a staff member (and part of the IEP team) stated that my son had a "Rain Main mentality," I finally made the choice to pull my daughter from the school after fighting for my son for nearly 5 years because I have grown tired of fighting the administration at every turn for what my child is legally entitled to. Administration is unhelpful at best and dishonest and damaging at worst.
