Amherst County High School

Posted December 7, 2008

I believe that the high school does prepare the students for college. If your child is not doing well at the school it is not because he/she is not in a good school, it is that they have legitimate problems with a subject or with the concept of school. And on the subject of the facilities at the school, know this, Amherst does not receive the same budget as the city schools do because Amherst is not a city. The county can not provide the school with the money it would need to make the whiners happy because it is a county school. If parents want to make the school better they would have to find a way to increase funds going towards renovating the school or building a new one.

Based on the reviews about the great facilities, what if your kid is not into football? So far, I have found the teachers to be great! I was relieved to find out that my childs classes have such a good ratio of teachers and students. I look forward to 4 successful years with or without the benefit of great football facilities...

People are wrong to think that the high school is anything less then wonderful! Of course there is a good football team, but this is a football county. The teachers adn all staff are just wonderful. I gradulated in spring of 2005, and I do miss going there.

I currently have a child enrolled at ACHS. Poor facilities? They have the best high school football facility in central Virginia. My child, who has attended private school in the past, (and unfortunately is not an A student) does very well under the guidance of their teachers.
