Personally, I love Anacoco. The teachers are personable but also intelligent in their subject, plus they are able to answer questions and help students who are really struggling. The teachers are great as well as the education, what I would like to see change is the resources they are allotted. The teachers could do so much more if they had more resources readily and at hand.

Anacoco High School is very focused on academics and athletics. The teachers here push students to do their best in everything. The science classes here go above and beyond; preparing students for college and teaching in depth in every subject.

Anacoco is a tiny school in the rural south. As you can imagine, the school doesn't particularly care for outsiders (in ethnicity, culture, or religion). They don't really touch on topics like evolution. There are still regularly-held group prayers. And the amount of effort they put into enforcing i...
