Anchor Bay High School

This is our second year in the AB School District. We have 3 children in the H.S, and 1 in her last year of Middle School. My children love the school(s) compared to their old school(s), but it's still extremely difficult as a parent to connect with administration when needed. First impressions are EXTREMELY important, and I'm not impressed with some of the H.S. office staff...a little warmth & smiles go a long way! I've been to several Board of Education meetings and I think I've seen less than 1% of parents attending. Parents: SHOW-UP! It's vital for you to know what's going on in the schools...which effect our communities. The BOE seems to be a VERY transparent Board, and that's unacceptable! Some of the comments listed concern me deeply, the only thing I can say is GET INVOLVED...show up at Board meetings and voice your concerns! Remember, the Board of Ed works for the people. They are voted in...not appointed. I won't give up trying to make a difference. As far as the teachers go...when I have an issue, I email them. 95% of the time I get a resolution...and when I don't, I follow the chain of command. Bottom line: Parents, get involved in your child's education on all levels!

This school is great if you don't care about your child attending college. It's right on par with the rest of the Michigan economy, sinking ship. It's definitely not a bad school, but it's most definitely not good. I'd say most of the problems are with quality of education and not crime and trouble. The parents and guardians contribute to the literacy in the area more so than the teachers do. A majority of the parents are very young and do not have jobs. Most of the students have better grammar than the parents in the district. If you get lucky you will have a great teacher, out of an entire staff, if I had to bet, there are maybe 3 teachers that I'd rate as excellent teachers.

I attend Anchor Bay and I've noticed many fights, nasty rumors and gossip etc. Education is golden in life Anchor Bay strives to get students attention but they dont try hard enough. The school is so big to where its hard to get one on one with teachers. Teachers are nice and helpful though. Students can be nasty and mean to one another and their are many clicks and groups it seems like everyone is "labled" with "preppy","emo","jock" etc.

I'm a graduate of this school and feel that this school has great potential but lacks the ability to truly educate their students. Almost everyone of my math teachers where lazy and did not teach me one thing. I do feel that I received a good education in English and history. This school has a great band program and once had a thriving choral program that is sadly now a mere memory of what it was. In one year went from being one of the best to one of the worst. Overall I feel this school is not horrible but unless certain teachers are removed students will continue to have a lacking education
