Teachers don't seem to have much control over the student body. There is a great deal of misbehaving and students roaming the halls. However, the administration tries its best to be inclusive and have diversity.

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.
