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.
Avon High School is a very competitive academic school. All teachers and students have huge potential for high position jobs in the future. The curriculum sets everyone up for success and bright futures. In addition to the high academic achievements, Avon High School is also a great community. The teachers and staff have great connections and are very proud to work at this very high school. The students get along with the teachers and staff as well. As a junior going into my senior year at AHS, I feel very welcomed and safe at this establishment. From academics, to clubs, to even sports, this school provides high quality space, time, and equipment.
Unfortunately, there are many things that the school needs to work on based on the culture and climate. In my last year a student unfortunately took their own life, and I hate to say that the administration did little to nothing to fully address and help other students in the situation, only having counselors available for two days the weekend after the traumatic incident. Despite stressing how important they believe the safety and well-being of a student is in their academic career, this was not shown at all before, during and/or after the incident. This led to many students shutting themselves out and this also affected their performance in classes and extra curriculars.
