Afsa High School

I agree with the review by Mr. Kapets, and both our daughter and we as her parents have felt this school is a great fit for her.   This is the 3rd year my daughter has attended this school.  Additional reviews on AFSA can be found at:  http://www.trulia.com/schools/MN-Saint_Paul/The_Academy_For_Sciences_And_Agriculture_High_School/

Anthony J. Kapets: My son has been going here since his freshman year, and as a parent we are very pleased with the school. Is it perfect, no. Show me a school that is? The curriculum is very good, with a great emphasis on science and agriculture, and the students are made to be held accountable in their studies, and their actions. Pay no mind to the negative reviews some parents and students may have. The kids aren't coddled here as in the majority of schools I have seen, i.e...
feel good groups, slap on the wrist, time outs.  But they are also given, and made available to them, all the academic help they need, if they ask for it and seek it out. I believe several of these reviews are uncalled for. In the end the student/our children, are responsible for, and should be held accountable for all their actions, towards their fellow students and the teaching staff. The teachers do a great job, give them a break.

The math program is severely lacking.

AFSA is possibly the worst mistake I made. DO NOT SEND YOU CHILD HERE!! With a corrupt office staff, unqualified teachers and a lack of academic acceleration this has to be one of the worst schools I have been involved in. My son went there for about a year and a half and I transferred him as soon as I realized how falsely advertised this school is. Excuse my French but the way this school is set up is downright ghetto and unplanned.
