This school does not allow its students to have progressive or respectful views on the world. If a student has a belief system that differs from other students in the class, not only will the class feel comfortable to attack that student, but the teachers will as well. During Covid, the administration actively denied government orders and would shame students who would Choose to wear a mask for their own and others safety. the theology that is taught is shaky at best. when I took US history, The book was so old it did not have Obama as president.

I received a great education here. The teachers really challenge you to strive for good grades and actually understand the material you are learning. The only downside to this school is the culture. It is not diverse at all; it definitely is one of those small town tight knit communities where everyone knows everyone. Also there is not a lot of opportunities for extracurricular activities, clubs, or dual enrollment.

Love this place! We have had all three of our children enrolled from PK to 12th grade here. Prepared both academically and spiritually for the future. Many teachers have dedicated years of service, love and care at ACS. Blessed to be here!
