We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The time I have been at Atlantic Coast I think it is a good school. The teachers and academics are great. The safety is very well set in place.

During my time at Atlantic Coast I have learned a lot academically. Though the administration can be focused too much on outside factor and regulations rather than academics, I have found my own way to find learning strategies that work for me.

This year I've come to appreciate the amazing staff at Atlantic Coast. Their AP teachers are some of the best in the state, and it's clear to anyone who has a conversation with them that they are extremely knowledgeable. ACHS offers a wide variety of clubs and activities for both academic as well as social purposes. My personal favorites are best buddies and The Society. A critique is it can get pretty crowded, but with such a large campus, it's given that there will be many students.

I have never had a positive interaction with anyone at this school. Counselors are unavailable and appear to really not care at all about student needs. Everyone who works there seems overwhelmed and just angry. There's never been an attitude of "can do". It's simply, how can I get this student and...
