Arroyo High School is a school that receives relatively little funding, but for the funding it receives, it is a terrific school, especially in terms of its extracurricular activities, which the school tends to focus on quite a bit. Academic help is always available if needed, but do not expect to receive it without asking. Overall, Arroyo is a great school for what it's worth.

I liked how my teachers really pushed me to succeed. I like that the school really allowed for students to be engaged with their spirit days. Many of the teachers also tried their best to help their students and the school overall was an environment in which facilitated learning.

Throughout my time at Arroyo High School, there was an abundant amount of events that took place. For instance, one that I enjoyed the most was "food booth." This essentially was when each club in our school would sell different types of food during lunch, it was quite similar to a food night market. On the other hand, the change that I wish to see is the respect between students.
