Research Col. Africentric Ec High School High public Schools in Zanesville, Ohio

“I have 6 children at Africentric ( Ist, 3rd, 4th, 2 in 10th and an 11th grader). All of my children are boys. Africentric has helped them grow and open a wide door of opporutunity to have some sort of success in the world. We are pleased with the program and happy to have our children there.”

“I think that it is a beneficial school for anyone who will work for it. People say it continues to be the students or the teachers that is the problem when it is really both the students and teachers. This is a school for people who want to work so if a teacher or a student dose not want to work they should not go there. Furthermore the program is very good. It is just not for everyone. :)”

“my kids have been in the school, although I have had some issues with some teachers for the most part I like the school. Where else can a urban student get the opportunity to graduate with their Associate's Degree and high school diploma. Yes the school is a little harder than most because you have to maintain a 3.0 (at least a 2.5) or better in order to stay in the Early College Program. My son is a junior and he has been a the school since the 6th grade and he is doing very well in the program. They concentrate on academics as well as sports. Yes, they do go all year round (6-12th grades). I think that keeps their brain on task and they don't forget as much as they would in the summer. It will be one of the top schools in the coming years.”

“This is a great example of schools which feed directly the needs of the communities they are located in.”

“Disappointed with the quality of instruction. Students are constantly disruptive and teachers seem to have very little control over the classrooms.”

“The discipline in this school is lacking. I believe that the kids are disrespectful to the teachers and teachers feel helpless to do anything about it. the teachers try hard and are very dedicated. Something needs to be done about the behavior of the kids.”

“Africentric will be the top school of the future, under new administration quality will soar. While currently in transition will be an excellent choice for students wanting to receive college credits during high school years. A great benefit to urban family unable to afford out of pocket college fees.”
