The student experience at Atlantic City High School is similar to other high schools. The best part of this experience is that there are a lot of resources for students such as the teen center where students can go to relax or take a break. Other resources help with students' mental health. The worst parts of my experience would be the food and the occasional fights that would occur in the school. There would be fighting in the hallways that would make it hard to reach my classes on time. Something that I would like to see change in ACHS would be the number of clubs or classes that nurture real-world skills. Things like a class that helps students to understand the stocks or helps students budget and build wealth.
