Really disappointing experience. My daughter attended for four years. She was not adequately prepared for college. Poor math and science teachers (except Mrs. Elgar). Religious ed is a joke. They do not practice what they preach. Mr Curry and Mr V and Mrs. Elgar and very good, but the others are very poor.

The environment is like a public school except it costs more. The teachers aren't very good. The classes aren't interesting and the school day seems to drag on because of this.

There are many bad influences around the school that i dont enjoy. Its hard to find a group of friends with the same moral values as me. The classes are really easy but i dont really feel like im learning.

Great school, however, I wish they follow thru and find out what it is going on in the lives of the alumni before sending out letters , etc.

Amazing High School, great environment creating a positive experience for the most balanced education. Teaching pride but not arrogance. Education, sports, and a positive Christian environment blended to combine college prep with positive life experience. Sports are very competitive and all are welcome and encouraged.

Wew sent five chidren through ACC from the mid 80's through 2001. We found it an excellent place to educate our children in preparation for life, living their Faith and for College preparation. The tuition is a sacrifice, but it is an excellent investment in the lives of our children.

Community ratings and reviews do not represent the views of GreatSchools nor does GreatSchools check their accuracy or verify the reviewers' identities. Use your discretion when evaluating these reviews.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.
