This school is a terrible place. I had my daughter go here for her 7 grade year and she would come home all bruised and scratched. She always said that when he got bullied and told the teachers all they did was make him sign a paper and that was it. My daughter almost lulled herself and said that the school made her feel more horrible than she already did. And when she talked to the counselors they made a big deal and checked her bag. She told me that the PE teachers were both mean. She said they made her cry by calling her useless. She also told me they still made her run even though many kids fell and hurt themselves.

Given that most of the parents here who are complaining about discipline have horrible grammar and spelling mistakes, perhaps their teachers should have been a little more strict with them.

I love Actis, I went there when i was a child. the staff is only preparing the children for "the real world" these days. So what if they get detention. You dont get rewards for owing money, or being disrespectful at your job do you? Keep up the good work! I love the vice principal and principal too by the way! Great job staff!

This is my child's second year at Actis. This is by far the most strict school I have ever come across. I understand the need for strong disapline, but I think this school over does it on the minor infractions. Detensions are given out for everything. Suspensions are dealt way too often. On the up side, they do have some amazing History and Science Teachers. You just have know which teachers to fight for.

Strict policies are good when there is behavioral problem with a student. However, at Actis children are pulled out of class on a daily basis and threatened with detention for having a $2.50 lunch balance. I think that it's ridiculous and discouraging to good students who may have financial struggles. Additionally, when a Math teacher has most of the students failing, transferring or leaving her class room the problem may not be the students but the manner in which they are taught. There are definitely some great teachers here and for the most part an average school.

Strict is good.......especially in today's social climate. It is my experience that students understand the need for adhering to a high Code of Conduct.

Very strict about the littlest things and the six F's rule is pointless and dont make much of a difference.
