My experience at Ardrey Kell High School was great! Coming from a very small town into a school of over 3 thousand students, the transition was nice in that I was able to connect with other students and teachers really well. Ardrey Kell is also a very diverse community with students coming from backgrounds all around the world. I had an amazing time making a diverse group of friends and learning more about their backgrounds and perspectives. Additionally, I was able to meet students who shared similar passions to mine. Through the many clubs the school offers, I was able to connect with these students in order to accomplish our common goals. Lastly, Ardrey Kell offers great academics with passionate teachers who truly care about their students' success both in and outside the classroom. Ardrey Kell High School is a place that any student can call home and will have a great time in their four years.
Great school. We have many AP classes at Ardreykell and a very motivating environment. The only down-side can sometimes be the toxic-comparison environment. However, this is also an upside, as you are pushed to be the best you can. The teachers at AK are amazing, and they truly care about students' success. Overall, great school!
My experience at AK truly has been very average/below average. I have no other experiences to compare it to, but it hasn’t been the best regarding the school. The whole online learning system was really screwed up and was very difficult to do well in. Not to mention how it seems the school disregards mental health and at-home situations. The teachers that I had truly tried their best and were very kind with my mental health, but from experiences from friends of mine, it has been a different story. The classes are very rigorous at the school and they tend to assign more work than is possible to complete, taking into account the personal lives of the students, extra-curriculars, and any disadvantages they may have. The staff only seems to pretend they care about the mental health of the students because they have to. For those reasons, and my poor mental health that has affected my past 3 years of high school, it has overall been a below average experience.
