Best part of ACC is definitely academics and college setup. Very focused on college and lots of resources there to help. Not a very welcoming area for those not catholic, however.

Aurora Central Catholic is a great school that instills young adults with not only a high level of knowledge in core subjects but aswell in spiritual knowledge. The school has a great community that surrounds it and is very supportive of both of students and former alumni. When I made the decision to attend Aurora Central Catholic, it was the best decision I made in my life. The friendships that I made will last a lifetime and the memories even longer.

Overall, the school is filled with nice and welcoming people. Most teachers are very friendly and teach as well as talk to the students as adults. The one downside of the school in my opinion are the facilities. The school is either very cold or very hot and the bathrooms are less than subpar.

The school lacks oversight. My daughter’s AP US History class watched Fox News and the movie the Patriot. Not at all acceptable. Pre- calculus teacher not competent. For a school that is to embody Catholic values; administration walks around tooting their horn instead of looking at meaningful learni...
