In my personal opinion as an evolved parent, Akins High School is an amazing school with extremely caring teachers and wonderful administration. I've been nothing but impressed with this school since day one.

My son has improved tremendously since being at Akins. I am blessed he has teachers that care about his education.

Absolutely an unsafe school. Do not send your children here if you have an option. The administration does not act on bully situations unless someone is assaulted on campus even at that there will be no adults around to stop violence from happening. It is such a sad thing to see a school not act to try to protect their students. I will say there are great teachers and that is the best thing the school has going for them. Unfortunately the staff has no sense of urgency in potential violent situations. Hopefully in the future this will change. But I do not see that happening any time soon.

I attended Akins for the full four years of my high school career (2009-2013). The faculty at this wonderful school is the single most valuable asset that W. Charles Akins H.S. has to offer. They are extremely caring and go well beyond what is expected of a secondary school educator. If it wasn't for the guidance and wisdom of the teachers of Akins H.S., I would not be progressing towards my masters degree in economics at the University of Texas at Austin. If your child has a desire to succeed, they will thrive at this school.
