I don't have any other high school to compare it to but it's not bad is all I can say. Argonaut had a very open campus, as in most classrooms aren't connected to one another. Most of the teachers I had are great too, if my grades have anything to say about it.

I have enjoyed being at Argonaut High school. However, the family-like connection that used to occur at the school is no longer prevalent. The staff is hard-working but administration can be improved. There needs to be more done to better the environment for these students and to also take action on matters that are concerning instead of brushing them off.

I would rate it a 000.1 the world history teacher loses all the work then makes us do it over again just to find out that it was in our folder

Overall the school is okay it’s just some of the teachers that are just crazy and are not being replaced. The office Will not touch them all they can do is promise a new teacher when the year is over and your no longer in the class. All I can say is fire the history teacher Simmons.

Fantastic. Great, caring teachers within a great community. Not the same opportunities as a large city school but enough school activities available to keep interested kids busy.
