Attending Ellet High School has been a good experience overall. Of course it was not perfect, but going there has taught me a handful of things and has helped me grow as a person. I feel like majority of the teachers I had cared about me and my grades and pushed me to be better. I loved getting to participate in spirit events as well as programs and club activities.

The best part was the Animal Science class with Mrs. Rose, the worst was the administration of the APS school district. I would like to see people in charge that genuinely care about the students.

Proud graduate. Proud that I made it out relatively unscathed, not proud of the school. Students who know their future involves college are eligible to take college campuses at (choose Kent, not Akron) by junior year, possibly even earlier? That aspect of Akron Public schools is valuable.

I feel this way because for the past week they have been giving me expired food. I am very angry. Some of the teachers here and rude and disrespectful. This is the worst school I've ever been to.
