I love the class sizes. It's easy to focus and present in front of the class. Very friendly staff and it's a great community!

At Adams Central, there's not really much diversity, ethnical wise. We do have quite a few foreign exchanged students however. Many of the friend groups at AC aren't normally 100% accepting of everyone else because they've been an establish group for years so if someone new tries to come in, it's a little unsettling. I feel like most of the students at Adams Cebtral have the "you do you" attitude in which if you're happy with you then we're happy with you.

I honestly believe that Adams Centeal is a really good school. There's many great teachers and other staff that make it great. However, some of the students at this school don't mesh together well and I don't think I would want to do it over again. In some aspects, I would do it again to make myself try better and harder sooner and in other aspects, I would rather just move forward with my education.
