The best part of being an ASU prep student was to have easy access to college courses for no charge. I loved some of the resources that were available to students. However despite, 4 years is a bit of time for things to happen. During my time there, one of the worst things that happened was when one of the robotics programs I was participating in was shut down due to funding issues. Overall me experience with the school was fairly positive but there were a few issues that cropped up.

You are nothing but a number here. Do not enroll. They lie to get you in the door. The counselors do not support the students and they are not honest. My daughter should be going into another set of courses but they now "don't have seats available". Weird how she's been enrolled all semester and the...

Such a great school. Teachers and staff are so supportive and interactive with the community. School is patrolled by campus police so very safe. There a variety of after school activities. My fav part is how active the PTSO is in putting together community events.
