Archer has been an interesting experience. There has been a dramatic shift since freshman year to my now senior year in atmosphere. When I arrived I was the only Hispanic student that was a part of the AP cohort program in the class of about 35. Today my classes have expanded in cultural diversity. I cannot comment on the regular CP classes because I don't take any but my classes have shown grown in involvement.

Archer high school has great opportunities for academics. They have been promoting Ap and dual enrollment classes way more lately, which I love. As a school we lack school spirit but they have been trying to improve it lately. Overall my experience at Archer wasn't terrible.

I currently go to Archer and am on track to graduate. Honestly i can say that it was a 75/25 experience, everything mostly good. I know every school has their own ups and downs and I do see more changes being made now. But i would like to see more teacher involvement and helpful constructive criticism and not so much of personal attacks toward the students.

Racism in this school is atrocious ...in all directions. Multiple fights occur daily which happens in all school because kids today are savage but the fights at archer are knock down drag out brawls. Two students brought guns on the same day and the students were taken in but no lockdown happened......
