[quote=Anonymous]Moved to private from public at 9th grade. Tired of classrooms focused on the bottom rather than focusing on raising all students from where they are. Love the smaller environment and focus on community. Kids aren't perfect in private, but I've yet to hear of bathrooms closed due to vaping, overdoses, and fights. All things I've heard of at all three APS high schools. College counseling is tremendous and focused on the kids individually. Our child's homework is primarily written as are tests rather than leaning in on using the laptops to teach. Smaller student body means greater opportunities to make sports teams, take on leadership roles in clubs, get parts in plays and musicals. Basically, more opportunities per student versus at much larger schools. Even if academics are on par with surrounding publics, the overall environment is better in our opinion. [/quote]
