Annapolis High School was a descent shcool to attend. Though the kids there got into major fights and broke the dress code very often and teachers and faculty didn't do much about it.

Since I am in a magnet program, my opinion will be a little skewed. But of what I do see and experience, this school could use some major improvements. From the actual facilities to the school culture (especially the school culture). But again, what i interact with on a day to day basis isn't all that bad, but that's because I live within a little bubble.

As a parent, it is so incredibly frustrating to hear several teachers say during parent teacher conferences that they have to "teach to the lowest common denominator". The bar is set so low, yet students - of all races, even white - are still not proficient in math and English. Way too much time/ene...
