My overall experience with an achievable Dream middle and highschool has been great I've been in this school since elementary. I've enjoyed growing up with my fellow peers at this school and the staff and teachers are great. Everyone in this school is well involved by creating a big sense of community through clubs and community engagement. This school gives us lots of opportunities and resources which makes it unique. This is why I love my school even though we don't have access to high school sports at our school it's still an enjoyable experience.

I began attending this school in 9th Grade after leaving the program after 2nd Grade. I am glad I was given another chance to come to this school because the program is amazing. The smaller size of the school allows students to have deeper personal connections with staff and other students. The school focuses mainly on the best ways to help students be successful. They are really serious about college education and they always strive students to do their best.

Achievable Dream is an overall good school. If I was a parent I would enroll my children here. I just think maybe the school shouldn't have such a "my child goes here to prevent them from being on drugs" label. I believe that people think that that's what kind of school that it is because of its location.
