The teachers at ADK care more about who you are than anything else, if you have a known last name you will have a much easier time and if a teacher has anything personal against you or a family member you will have an automatic biased against you. I was told by three teachers at this school that I would never amount to anything at all, almost like said teachers were trying to impress the "cool kids" by disrespecting me. Well, a few years later, I've more than made it with and actually owe it all to those horrible three teachers for the motivation. The science cats over at ACS are great however... the English division should stop fratting with kids and ENCOURAGE students.

The teachers are very friendly, easy to approach and helpful. They are willing to stay after school on days that they normally wouldn't if a student asks for help, and some even will give up their lunch periods to help students. The teachers are very helpful especially if you've missed a day and are behind. They are very good about helping their student who are behind to catch up whether they didn't understand the lesion or have missed a day.

Sports are the biggest after school activity at my school. We have six varsity sport teams in the fall, five winter varsity sport teams and four spring varsity sport teams. Many of the students who participate in one of these sports will also do something related to their sport in the summer whether it be at a camp or through a school program. The student athletes are very dedicated to their sports and have to keep their grades up to participate, so they still have to make their school work a priority.
