Musical productions I have seen are a fantastic extra curricular experience for all those involved. Best of all, Phillip Herrington, Master in Arts degree, manages to really involve a huge number of students from a large cast, carpenters, stage hands, sets and costumers, and ushers! The performances are well above the average amature level and sell out per night. The comradery and enjoyment must leave a wonderful memory of Apollo High School.
I am a long time Phoenician interested in promoting public schools. Apollo High School came to my attention because of the extremely high rate of graduation and the diversity of the student body.

This school is good and takes care of kids and all and even some teacher care for the kids like there own children but..theres also some teachers that are rude, disrespectful, and terrible with students like this one women teacher..WOMEN!!! Refused a girl from going to the bathroom and she bled through her pants! And yes the young girl told her she was having her month! Schools should not hold are kids back from emergencies! And not only that theres even some teachers who hit kids! But still there is more good teachers then bad so thats one up side of this school.

Literally amazing
As far as I know this school is so positive and good
All the kids here are growing up to be successful in college, like my big sister she went here and she is now in Harvard studying to be a doctor and I hope my little sister and brother we experience the same thing in 3 years (they are twins)

This school sucks! The teachers are not as supportive as they seem and even sometimes bully their students, like one time I witnessed a teacher shaming an athlete for being on JV and refused to acknowledge him as athlete. Even more, the attendance office is completely disorganised and rude. They refuse to record any calls made from us parents for their children and note absences as unexcused resulting in wrongful disciplinary actions for the student. The honors courses are a joke; teachers are never there and the students spend several weeks of the year with a substitute. My daughter had honors English both freshman and sophomore year and wrote a total of 2 essays combined. The school prides itself in being pathetic.

The school curriculum is outstanding with amazing teachers. The school classrooms are very modern as well. Our children did very well here! We were a little worried being we were from out of state but then extremely relieved once we met the staff and Principal. Great sports, arts and theater classes.

My school is excellent and is always trying to get students involved! The only bad thing is that everyday i see at least one student falling into a freshman hole. I think they should put signs where there are freshman holes!

This school is in decline from when I attended. My son and daughter now attend and it seems this new, young principal and her lackeys I would call assistant principals are reducing this once great school to shambles. From what I see the teachers are great and communicate well. However, they are rarely supported by their administrators. It's very sad. Needless to say, it is too late for me to send my kids to a different school.
