Apex Friendship was overall a great place to learn. The teachers all seemed like they really enjoyed their jobs, and most make the effort to reach out to their pupils. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the transition to online schooling was actually a little smoother than expected. The only issues I can raise with the school come from the counselors. I personally have not had bad experiences with these staff members, but many people I know have negative stories, and the attention to students mental health definitely needs much improvement. Overall, I would say my experience with this school was quite positive!
Overall, a really good school! From my experience, the teachers are helpful and most are legitimately willing to work with you either during your lunch period or sometimes after school to help you succeed. There are lots of different options for classes, and counsellors are usually willing to work with you to get you electives which benefit your major or to help you figure out what you want to do in the future. Clubs can be a little bit difficult because they take place during your lunch period, but there's usually opportunities to eat in either the first or second half of your lunch period.
What I loved most about Apex Friendship High School was how friendly the teachers were. I got along with all of them fairly well and I had no hesitation asking them for recommendations at the end of my senior year. I also have some of them added on social media to keep in touch with them. The school itself was also very clean and it was way larger than the school I attended in New York. Overall, I liked it a lot more. The only thing I would change about it is the fact that teachers come and go very quickly. Some of my favorite teachers have already left to teach elsewhere or purse another job. It was hard to locate classrooms with all of the switching as well. Otherwise, I loved it!
