The best teachers you will find at a high school. Instructors are dedicated and passionate, and really want to help students succeed! Of course, not all teachers are perfect (and their is a fairly high turnover rate of staff), but some of the best teachers are in the AP program. I have had numerous standout instructors who have worked hard to engage students and assist in any way possible.
Very low bullying rate, which is refreshing. Student climate is generally positive, and harmful acts towards others are rare. When they do occur, they are typically physical and not verbal. Everyone leans on one another, and it’s great to see friends supporting friends through the difficulties of high school, whether they be breakups or bad grades.
Appoquinimink High School is an overall great school. There’s a place for everybody, and with its exciting extracurriculars and interesting academic courses, you’ll rarely be bored.

Appoquininink High School is a very diverse school with so many options for everyone. I am involved in the music department here and it offers me so much learning as well as another home for me. I love our music program along with the rest of the school and teachers. It is such a great environment and prepares students for their next step in life, no matter what it may be!
While Appo was one of the best schools in Delaware, it was definitely not the best school in the world. It had its problems, just like any other school. The teachers were not the best. There was definitely some bullying and harassment. There was also a huge drug problem going on in the school and no one knew about it until someone overdosed and almost died in the building. I feel like what the school says they care about, and what they actually care about, are very disconnected. They said they cared about keeping us safe, but drugs were ravaging the school and they did not even know about it. They say they care about helping students, but the suffering of many would go unnoticed. They say they care about helping students succeed, but all they really wanted was for us to get high scores on our standardized tests. They do not care about us. They care about their image and perception. They care about being the best in numbers, but not in practices, and that needs to change.
