There are really lovely teachers at this school who really care about the students. Administration is really nice and they care about students succeeding and staying safe. The school culture is so amazing and I am proud to be apart of this school.

My experience at Arvin High was the best four years so far. Overall, I've tried my best to pass my classes, with the teachers and classmates I've had so far, they've made it easier to get through. Arvin has taught me so much in such little time. I'm glad that I got a lot of knowledge there. The best part was making the high school memories. Although some students might disagree, I can say that high school is a fun experience. It's all about making it count. As I'm part of many clubs it opened doors to things I would have never tried. One of my worst experiences is the crowded halls when everyone tries to go home. As a bus rider, it's so difficult running/speed walking to my bus from the bungalows on the other side. If I could change anything about my high school, I would like them to make the buses closer to farther-away classrooms. I don't particularly appreciate seeing how students don't make it to the bus, or how some students have to get off because they can't sit three to a seat.

I had an amazing experience at this school. There were many school spirit weeks and made being present at school very fun. Thr school had many activities outside school, which made students very involved in the community.

The school dress code is whack because only certain people get in trouble. Also, they only recognize students in athletics and not people who do well academically.
