I had an okay experience academic wise it was good the teachers always made sure we stayed on track. The students aren't bad either everyone gets along which I like. If I could change something it would be some staff members because they are quiet rude and can be unreasonable.

As a senior at Artesia it was a fun experience as a whole. Like any school experience I had teachers that I disliked and others that were really fun. Overall Artesia is a good school with many opertunities other schools in the district don't have. I'm extremely proud to be graduating from Artesia as I have learned so much.

Teachers are very hands on and care about each student. They could encourage more family involvement, but this school is a great place to go.

Students that are not treated fairly. They are not setting an example to have tolerance. I was actually told that I should send my child to a school that would fit his "demographic" better.
