Arcadia High School

I'm a recent graduate from Arcadia High School and yes there is more of an emphasis on sports, but that is because the school has many gifted athletes. The Music Department is amazing, how many schools have half the student body in band and/or choir? The Math department was lacking, but the new teachers are helping to get the department back in great shape. The school offers Spanish and French now in the past it offered German. The English Department is wonderful the teachers are great and have a passion for what they do. The Social Studies/ History Department is great with different teachers that have interesting ways to ingage their students. It is true that the school has very few strict discipline referal, but there are very few troube makers in the school. Due to the rich eduacational atmosphere at Arcadia the 2011 graduating class had 4 valedictorians. So is Arcadia a bad school? No, it has its flaws like any other school, but I'm proud to be a graduate from a great school.

Academic programs are lacking, with only Spanish offered, and limited gifted programs. Too much emphasis on sports. Had difficulty finding help for troubled child. Pulled my kids out and put in private school. Feel we were misled about programming when we moved from another community to Arcadia.

Arcadia is a fine school with many opportunities as well as a developed Musical Department. The only thing I see wrong with it is the math department. When I needed help the most I found it impossible to find it from the staff. This school is fine, it just needs some adjustments in the staff division.

They have good acedemic programs, but I don't think the teachers discipline enough.
