honestly, my experience here has been great, it was really nice that I would get to go to a counselor every 2 weeks to make sure my transfer and assimilation to the school was good.

My experience at Archer High School has shaped who I am today. As a freshman I was immediately introduced into their AP program which allowed me to grow and develop not only as a student but as a person as well. The amount of support and resources provided by my teachers led to my growth and success at Archer. Student led organizations and clubs are supported by the staff as well as having a represented community. Without Archer I wouldn't be the person I am today.

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......
