Annapolis High School

Great school for those students that are disadvantage, prides itself with an excellent academic curriculum and overall great teacher involovement regarding the students work performance standards.

I would not recommend this school if your child has any disabilities or mental illness as they will do more harm than good for the child. Also, they do not want these types of children in their school-they only want perfect little angels. They make it very difficult on the parent, too, are very judgmental, and even cruel if you are a Christian. It has been impossible for me to get any cooperation from these people.

I have a niece that goes to this school as I have went to this district many years ago. I am concern with the education and policies that the district has set forth for children in the education. I thought that the policies for dress code, absentees, and cheating was not allowed however, It has. I did not know that you can mis most of the year and still pass on the next grade. I also did not know that we as parents can do our childrens work and they get the credit for it. I did not know that your child can dress without a dress code in place. I have thought highly of the school district until my niece can not spell, missed half of the year of school because she don't like school, and time and time again getting her to do her own work instead of her

The staff at the hs is as good as there is in the area. The difficulty is students coming to the hs unprepared because they lost interest in the 6-7 grade. Parents in the heights need to accept responsibility for thteir shortcomings in that they do not push education in the home.

Good school, teachers are usually very helpful before or after school. Ive read people complaining of the dress code, however, compared to others that use uniforms, you cant complain

I agree with the school going overboard with the rules. I understand rules have to be implemented, however, I believe the punishment shouldn t be so extreme.

I understand there has to be rules, but they really go overboard. The academic programming is ok. The teachers aren't the greatest. I don't have a problem child in school either. They need to give them some room to be kids.

I disagree with many people on here saying that the school is good.The school does not allow children to be theirselfs.Your not allowed to wear certain things your not allowed to do this.Many of the kids here are stuck up and everyone looks the same.everyone dresses the same and teachers only recognize you if your on sports or others.This school is the worst ever. Dont send your child here.

Annapolis needs to be cut some slack. In my experience there, student failure was mostly due to laziness, something faculty is not in control of. Annapolis produces a remarkable amount of prepared students, despite being very average. As a senior in 2002 I managed a 3.5 in all 'honors' classes. Sure, there wasn't enough emphasis put on science and they had recent graduates teaching classes they knew nothing about, but at least they made attempts to offer a competetive curriculum! They have room for improvement, but we can't expect this under funded bedroom district to be perfect. Despite their flaws, every member on my family(myself included)has graduated from college and my friends have gone on to be medical students, engineers and mid level management.
