Acorn High School is a very good environment to live in. The classes are small which allows for more one on one time with the students and teachers. College classes are available through the local Community College. You are able to graduate high school and already have 1 or 2 years of college under your belt. This school is amazing. The friends and faculty you meet will be life-long friends.

I really love the FCCLA club of the school. We went to Cluster Meeting in Little Rock and met some of the National Officers. We also had other activities which were very interesting.
