Acorn Community High School
Acorn Community High School is the worst school in the area. The teachers can not control the students, and its a largely group of kids from the violent area of bed stuy. Last school year there was over 12 shootings in the area ,but none was reported.Do not send your child to acorn. Especially if your child has a bright future ahead.
