Discipline is not as strict as it should be considering the school's prestige and rigor. Other than that, if you take advantage of your opportunities, this is an awesome school.

Overall a good school, but it is very niche. To come to this school you have to be willing to give up school sports or school music, which is fine by many including me.

Lots of opportunity to grow. Academics are not that bad compared to comprehensive schools, (AP's). Very tight knit community.

12/8/2016
There are good students and bad students, great teachers and terrible teachers in AOC just like any other school. If your kid is a type of student who ends up doing all group work, I don't recommend this school. There are so many group work, homework, and teachers make things harder just to make thi...
