6/6/2022
At best, Avery County is a sub par school. Very little communication with parents about activities and opportunities for their child. Teachers seem very uninterested in actually helping students. Was very disappointed in our time there.

I really liked the classes here at Avery High, also the opportunity of getting to make new friends from different places. Seeing people walk in and out of this school. I reunited with one of my best friends in elementary school here in this high school. I loved it. She moved around third or fourth grade and she came back as a freshman.
6/6/2018
My experience was okay. I wish it was the best. I want the school to be less strict.I hope teachers and staff stop making the "popular students" or certain people special. I believe all student need equal treatment. All rules apply to everyone.

No child should feel threatened when they walk into...
