The school is honestly really bad. The teachers are horrible and inconsiderate, the food is ok at best, you don't learn literally anything if you've gone to a different school out of the district before going to ACHS, and so much more. There were only a few good teachers and most of them are in the realm of music and art. I do not recommend attending Abraham Clark. You will regret it.

It's been alright. I've enjoyed my experiences working alongside my peers and talking with teachers and faculty about academics as well as my future goals. That said there are some issues with this school notably in their academic rigor and college preparation as well as in the planning of events both school -relates and otherwise.

Years later this school has not changed a single bit, some teachers only teach for the pay check and couldn't care at all about actually putting in the type of effort that helps their students put in effort too, this school has a bad habit of choosing the worst possible teachers to teach chemistry a...

The dysfunction at its worst. Horrendous administration that likes to bury all the issues under the rug. “Consultative” model for special education - what.a.joke. ACHS is a true embodiment of that school-to-prison pipeline. Students leave without being able to read at grade levels, basic math skills...

This school is terrible, horrible! I graduated valedictorian of this school and they have not helped me whatsoever with my future! I received the less scholarships out of the rest of the students at this school despite being the best out there! I highly suggest that you do not send your children her...
