Appoquinimink High School *conditionally* is one of the best schools you can find. I say conditionally because it really depends on what kind of student someone is; those that work harder and strive for more typically turn out better than those that do not do their work, and that comes to no surprise to anyone, but it's a common sense thing that MUST be stated. If you're not going to do work at this school, then it's just like any other school. Otherwise, while issues that happen in most schools like sexting and drugs do happen in here, and there is a group of kids that I urge everyone to stay away from, it's a great school and can only lead to opportunities. Students are relatively nice, counselors are cooperative and will work with you on anything and nearly everything you need, and teachers are typically good at teaching (with few exceptions, most of which leave after one year). As someone who gets higher grades than most, it's not hard to get them, but in some pathways and classes, you definitely have to work harder than others. There's no bullying in this school as others have said, and the environment is just fantastic. If anyone going into Appo is reading this, and assuming that the teachers I'm about to list are still in the school, I would strongly advise you to try to have Mr. Lunsford (PLTW Engineering - POE, DE, EDD), Mr. Hoffses (IM III and Calculus AB), Mr. Milchovich (World Studies Honors, occasionally AP Psychology, and AP Human Geography), and Mrs. McCloskey (Spanish II and Spanish IV). Personally, Mr. Lunsford was my favorite teacher because of how he approached teaching, and not only gave us an education, but life advice. I'd have to say that the last three teachers are all tied, but I'll give some insight on them. Mr. Milchovich is a hilarious teacher, his World Studies Honors class was one of my most fun classes, and I actually learned a lot in it. Mrs. McCloskey was my favorite language teacher because she tried to keep the playing field as even as possible, and in doing so still shared bits about her personal life (which I found interesting). Mr. Hoffses is just an overall great teacher; Hoffses makes teaching easy, and he's one of those teachers that doesn't really talk about his personal life, but gets stuff done and done right. I'm proud to say that I've gone to Appo and I love the school.

Appo is a wonderful school. My granddaughter just graduated this month. all thru high school she had wonderful teachers that were there to help whenever she needed it, all she had to do was email them and they got back to her right away. She was always coming home with a story that happened in class that made learning fun.

Appo is a very excellent school and as a freshman i enjoyed my first year, all of my teachers were excellent and I did an amazing job at this school! i had great scored on the state testing. The sports organizations are great and so are the clubs. Our sports fields are AMAZING and I always look forward to going onto the fields! This school is just as good as a top rated private school. APPO JAGS RULE!!!!!
