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.

Overall I have had a pretty great time at Avery County High School. Most of the teachers there are really nice and are wanting to help the students. There are a few bad teachers though. I think that Avery County High School could have done better with teaching us stuff that we actually need to know how to do like taxes. They also needed to do more to stop vaping.

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