You have many opportunities to learn different subjects. There are many teachers that you'll feel welcomed too. There a lot of support for each other during sporting events and everything in general.

It's a good school for Anderson a little mixed up due to administrative personnel change, but great course selection.

I love the structure at APA. The teachers here are amazing and they are willing to help you with anything. Not only are they teachers but they are people you know you can talk to. The academics that I have taken here have been a great thing for me. They can be a challenge but they help push me to be a better student.

Horrible school to allow their basketball players in 8th grade who are so incredibly talented to act the way they did along with their coach. Such a shame

APA has been phenomenal for both of our kids. Both had IEPs and the SSC teachers have been outstanding!

APA is an excellent school, they meet the students where they are (academically) and help them achieve their highest potential. They have small classroom size and the teachers get to know all the kids on a personal level to help them succeed.

This school is great for my kids. Every school has its issues. The one thing I love is the class size. The one thing I think needs worked on is that the teachers need to be more aware of what goes on in the classroom. The special education piece is AMAZING
