They need more teachers, more control on students. Overall pretty good school they learn to get to know us and respect us. They want the best future for us and help push seniors to the finish line and give us so much to learn from.

I like that Adams City has a great way of trying to help kids with trying to be able to graduate but unfortunately I feel like there isn't enough programs to help you be able to be ready for college. While we do have programs to help and they are excellent inside the school for the kids who don't have that don't really know where to go. They focus more on getting our diploma than being able to go to college.

When I attended to Adams City High School, I saw a big change in social interactions. This school is very welcoming, all teachers are willing to help you and students are too. I joined many groups and I even joined the choir team, which is something I would have never done before. However, if there is something I would change from this school is more school events where we can all come together and participate.

Completely pointless school. I am truly and whole heartedly disappointed with this entire district. No teaching, no attention to the kids, security is the worst thing in that school they need replaced. I hate this school and all it says it offers.

If I could give this a negative number I would. The students and staff are absolutely amazing but the current administration has no clue what it is doing, and is reactive. There is no support for the teachers and a majority of the teachers will be leaving this year. Horrible for the students who des...
