It's near my house so the drive is not too bad, overall it is a good school which teachers can bond with students.

Apache Junction high school is okay... Their are a lot of things that could be better. Some things I do like and appreciate is all the college fairs they do and how the meeting with them are nice. I would say what the school spends their money on is a big problem. They spent probably a million dollars or more on re painting the whole school. Which I understand the school needed a new paint job but we could've use that money on more fun activity's to do I feel like the school is just kinda boring most of the time like not much spirit as I feel like others schools would have. Something that really bothered me was that they bought like 2 to 3 new golfs carts. like that's probably like 5,000 to 10,000 dollars that you've could've spent on the students high school life being more memorable. To be honest I would change the whole school budget plan. I sound super critical but Apache Junction gave me a lot of great memories and I like how nice some of the teachers are and how much they care

The school campus was nice; the campus was well kept for the most part and the classrooms I was in were relatively nice. The students however, needed serious work. There was always some kind of drama, usually over a boy/girl. Not to mention the popularity hierarchy was exceedingly rigged.

The school also makes the students work work work and the nurse doesn't seem as gentle or...

All of the new administrators treat pupils with a great deal of disdain and are poor role models. The step program, a new regulation that they have devised, is an absurd program that only causes problems for the students. I wouldn't advise any parents to send their kids there because the staff and a...

All the new admins are very disrespectful towards students and are not good role models. One of the newest front office ladies rolled her eyes at a student that was respectful while she was being extremely ignorant and disrespectful. I would not recommend any parents to let their children attend, st...

The district is killing the school and the vice principle does not do her job .
