I've had a lot of great experiences at Asbury Park High school. One of them would be meeting new people making new friends and many more. Second of my favorites experience was joining the volleyball teams where I experienced new things and also discover many hidden talents of mine. The worst parts of my experience were seeing my favorites coach stop coaching in the middle of the season where we had our first win in over 2 years and what made worst was that she wasn't there to celebrate with us or to support us. What I would like to see change is to have more programs that teaches students about different culture and histories.

Overall experience was decent. Food was good some days, but I would definitely change it since students need quality food to concentrate. Students were very energetic, even if they didn't want to go to school. Teachers were very friendly with the students, which made it more comfortable to be around them.

I love my school, it's very diverse, loving, and full of spirit and energy. If there was something I could change about my school, well I don't think I would change a thing.

Not a good school at all. My sister hates it. There are no math books for the 10th graders, yet the school board found enough money to buy a big screen tv for the lunch room. The students can leave the classroom without permission, and be gone the whole class period. Sometimes there are students in...
