In my freshmen year at Akins I resented the school. I feared the drugs and fighting that may happen, but I was wrong. Akins is amazing!!! You just have to know who to be friends with and remember your goals.

I am a student at akins and i love our classes that are offered. One of my favorite classes is the symphony orchestra, (which is not comparable by any means to the bowie freshman orchestra). We have worked very hard this year and have crated a new rep. for our program. Much of which is better than any other orchestra i've played in. On the other hand though i do not care for the academies. Yes they are a good idea for getting you set up on your future goals but they are not good for people who like to try different things and take different classes. There is also not alot of fights/gangs at our school. Principal Girard has made great efforts to change the reputation that our school had and has done so successfully. It all depends on who you associate yourself with and how you handle yourself.

My sister currently attends Akins, and I had the privilege to receive my education at Bowie. I have seen the differences in the mental challenge she receives from her teachers, (or the lack thereof) and I hear all about the fights and 'gang' issues from her school. She absolutely loves her Orchestra class, she's in the most prestigious Orchestra group at Akins, but it is comparable to Bowie's Freshman Orchestra. My sister often displays distaste for her principal, the 'academies,' (which a prior parent spelled wrong, might I add...) and how she feels herself an intellectual genius at the under challenging school.
