The Academies of West Memphis is a high school that adequately prepares its students for college as well as the work force post secondary education. While there are pending issues with the campus the administration along with the district office is making a effort to resolve these problems.

It was a mixed bag really really many of the difficulties were with the implementation of rules that don't make sense, such as the fore mentioned hood rule and the bathroom rule.
