For those who don't take AP classes at Archer, the classes will feel significantly easier and less motivating.

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......
