We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

AFHS fosters an environment that is happy, healthy, and safe. During my time here, I have felt comfortable communicating and asking for help with my teachers. The administration and head principal truly enforces rules to ensure each student has a good and safe experience.

I really enjoyed my time at Apex Friendship. It fostered a very positive social culture and a welcoming environment. The building is relatively new and has updated technology. The teachers are very passionate about their jobs and are always willing to help students. Personally, one of the worst parts of my experience was my constant struggle in math classes.

The good parts about my experience at my school is how nice everybody is at the school and how welcoming everybody is. There is also a lot of diversity in clubs and I am able to find clubs I'm interested in easily. The sports program there is amazing with all the coaches being super nice and helping all of us improve. I feel that the only problem I've had with my experience at Apex Friendship is the food at the school because it isn't the most appetizing.

This school is only good if you aren't a POC. If you are thinking of sending your minority child to this school please reconsider. Life is already hard enough as a minority in this country. Bring your child somewhere that allows them to make strong connections. If you aren't White and if you haven't...
