with my oldest not that great. He struggled in school and is definitely not that ready for college. I know school is what you make of it but no motivation to excell was given during the 4 years . if you are not well liked or in a click you generally just exist at this school

This school is a mixed bag. You can either experience an incredible or devastating experience at Ardrey Kell depending on the courses you take, teachers you have, and effort you put into your high school experience (both academically and extra-curricular). The rumors are true- AK is a highly competitive school. The academic success of most students is unreal, the musical and artistic groups consistently win highest levels of praise, and the athletic teams are some of the best in the state. This is both a good and bad thing; if you aren't already very talented at an extra-curricular, don't expect to find yourself representing Ardrey Kell in that field. Academically, AK has some very gifted students who will succeed regardless of the competence of their teachers, but for those students who require excellence in teaching will struggle. There are some incredible teachers at Ardrey Kell who really do care about the success of their students and who will do anything to help them succeed. There are also some adults who work at AK under the role of "teacher" but that is where their teaching credibility ends. They are unprofessional, not understanding, and overall bad at what they do. Due to the strict environment of this school, creativity is squashed in the classroom. Active and excited personalities are demanded to sit and wait for instruction. The only creative outlet you will find at this school is in the underfunded arts hall. Depending on how you interpret the competitive nature of this school and what you are willing to sacrifice as a high school student, you will either love or despise Ardrey Kell-- there is no in between.

We chose this neighborhood because of the ratings for Ardrey Kell, and we have never been disappointed. Our boys have done well, have been well-prepared for college, and have had excellent high school experiences.

Very good. I've had a few issues with teachers but overall my kids are academically benefiting from this school everything else I can guide them myself!
