What I like most about attending Paxon is the challenge that my classes present. The floor level of these subjects is fairly high. Keeping up the pace week after week can be pretty demanding, yet it is really all worthwhile. That moment when you know you have made the grade is extremely gratifying!
As exhilarating as it is to win this learning game, the homework load can feel overwhelming at times. More often than not, each of my class assignments required an hour or more to complete on a nightly basis. I have to say that there have been times when a little moderation in the workload would have been mentally refreshing for me as a student.

What I like about Paxon School for Advanced Studies is that it really prepares you for college. The school offers AP classes, IB classes, and Dual Enrollment so going here really make you stand out on your transcripts and college applications. The classes also give you good GPA boosts. Also, if you pass all the big tests and exams, you can graduate with college credit which means less work you have to do in college!
I have been a student at Paxon for all 4 years of high school and my overall experience has been great. From the beginning of freshman year till now, the environment at Paxon has been welcoming.I can tell that the faculty and staff truly care for the well being of the students.The counselors have always been a strong support system regardless if students are dealing with academic concerns/personal circumstances. I have never felt unsafe or felt as if my safety was disregarded. Paxon is a school that requires students to give their best while also providing aid when needed. Although the courses are rigorous there are many tutoring opportunities with teachers and other students who have a stronger understanding of the subject. Paxon also has a variety of extracurricular activities as well as, there is something for everyone. I feel as if Paxon has over prepared me for college and have heard the same from Paxon alum. I am very happy of the experiences i have gain while here. Go Eagles!
