The math classes are very hard, but the environment is pretty good, and there are teachers that are supportive. Most English teachers are very open to helping. There are many different electives available (arts and academic) at the school including Digital Art, Current Issues and Events, many different choirs, orchestra, ceramics (regular and advanced), forensic science, astronomy, Foundations in Design, CE Introduction to Business, etc. A required course in order to graduate is personal finance which teaches students how to buy a car, how to buy a house, etc, which is good for students to start to plan what is expected after high school. I have felt safe in the school, there is always a police officer when going into school and during school hours. There are also many precautions to ensure the safety of students. These past few years at Avon High School I have learned many things that will help me grow not only with learning but in life.
I had a great experience at AHS. The staff was always so helpful and supportive of me, and I was able to adjust to high school quickly. The homework levels were manageable, and I was able to thoroughly understand the concepts we learned. The teachers were very supportive and encouraged questions to help students grow and achieve their potential.
Please bear in mind that I am a very outgoing person. My experience at AHS has been amazing, and I’ve been here for a while. The staff, from administration to custodian, are so nice and teachers are understanding of special circumstances. There is a strong feeling between teachers and students, a common ground that shows that we’re all people at the end of the day. The school itself is very nice and there are a TON of clubs to join so involvement is easy and fun. I can honestly found the number of bad experiences I’ve had here on one hand. Overall I have enjoyed my time at Avon high school.
