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.

Arroyo gives a lot of career and educational opportunities for students there. I love the supporting community and the general attitude of people there. There is always someone to go to for help, no matter what problem you have. All the staff are very friendly and great at what they do.
