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.

The school had a good student environment. Hard for them to keep teachers. Good educational program for students this year due to new hiring and new classes added to the schedule. A-C is very great place to find friends and become a family with your class and school.

A-C Central makes you feel welcomed. We are a tight knit community and that shows through our school spirit. Our students are hard working and very friendly. The teachers and staff strive to make each student better.

The best thing about this school is definitely not the education it gives to it's students, but definitely the people you meet. The teachers as people and the extra curricular activities are awesome and definitely make school worth it.
