Lots of great AP and IB teachers, some of the administrators aren't the best. Doesn't feel very welcoming to POC.

Attending Atlee High School for four years has definitely been a roller coaster. It has had its ups and downs but most of all the teachers who I have had for multiple years in a row have stood out to me the most. Their unwavering desire to help students and make them feel heard will forever be an inspiration to me and I look forward to putting forth their great attributes to wherever I end up in my near future.

It is not good for the success of the children. Some teachers are too friendly with the male and female students. Do a survey monke...
