Asbury Park High School

I'm currently a freshman student there and I can honestly say I've never felt more proud to say I am from asbury park or "park" as we asburians call it , the staff is amazing teachers really connect with their student in a one on one environment some teachers even take the time of day to organize field trips , after school activities and even talk groups . Whether or not we have low test scores it does not reflect on the students who attend aphs some of us are artistically gifted in ways I don't even know how to describe others are more of a student athlete ( which everyone knows we are highly good ) t most students are enrolled in an academy whether it may be intro to public law & safety or engineering etc . I highly doubt any outsiders from this school really now what our school is really like from the inside and if you're gonna take some old person from the board of educations word for it , well let's just say youre ignorant towards this matter , one of my favorite things about my school is the view from the cafeteria , where you can see a glimpse of the Atlantic ocean , the beautiful Victorian houses located across deal lake and the best part our football Field maybe because blue is overall my favorite color ! It reminds there's always a better a option you just have to grasp it . I'm not popular but I do know a fairly good amount of students , and I think I can say most of them have a goal they thrive to accomplish , some want to go to college and play Proffesional football (there's deifinitely a couple who are gonna make it ) , others who want to go to college and study whatever it is they love the most . the only difference from my school and other kids school is that our problems go publicly because other school ( not all ) problems go unnoticed .

Not a good school at all. My sister hates it. There are no math books for the 10th graders, yet the school board found enough money to buy a big screen tv for the lunch room. The students can leave the classroom without permission, and be gone the whole class period. Sometimes there are students in the classes that aren't even suppose to be there. A lot of student -want- to be sent to in-school-suspension, so they don't have to do any work. The graduation rate is horrible. The administration is all about the athletes, but could care less if they are failing, which most are doing.
