I've been going to Apex since freshman year and I've seen the school change so drastically in a way for the worst it makes me sad. I've made great relationships and this school and the admin are sweet besides the main principal. We have 1 main principal and 6 AP's. The food is pretty good, and the electives can sometimes go all the way out. I dont like they way how they forced many of my friends to switch school due to bus routes to their school, and how curriculum can complete change depending on what teacher you get and what semester.

Most of the teachers are nice/helpful, but some are very poorly vetted and we've had some teachers and subs who have acted inappropriately. Apex High offers so many clubs and extracurriculars, there's something for everyone. The cleanliness and upkeep of the bathrooms leaves something to be desired. The curriculums are decently good at helping us learn and prepare for life after school.

Overall my experience at Apex High was fairly good. They have a variety of clubs and associations so that every student feels included. They also have a plethora of classes and electives that will satisfy different interests. I specifically love their art program and hear good things about the dance program. The building is beautiful and very clean and the sporting events are hype and fun for the students.

Senior here, overall, the school is fine. Math teachers were awesome, theres a lot of clubs that you can join but pretty much just an average school. Bathrooms are gross, with girl's arts hallway bathroom having a hole in the wall for about a year now. (There is also a horrible sewage smell in the a...

I am right enjoying studying in this school, I thought high school was going to be difficult for me, but this school was really fun to be in. There is no discrimination here, you have amazing teachers who teach really well and are willing to help you at all times, you have so many choices to choose...
