Arlington Public Schools provided a space for students to feel apart of a diverse community with different backgrounds. I felt that my teachers were passionate about helping me reach academic goals and finding resources to get the help I wanted. However, I felt that the community was struggling with a lack of resources to mental health services within the school space. I noticed several students felt like they didn't have an adult in the building they could trust to be open with and seek help. When administration addressed mental health concerns within the community, it felt performative and latently pushed students away from seeking help.
Throughout my time of being a student in Arlington Public Schools (APS) it’s been overall enjoyable. There is a lot of diversity so it is very easy to find your group of people and make friends. The only necessarily bad thing about APS is the safety. Ever since parents voted to remove School Resource Officers (SROs) from the schools I have felt less safe. Instead of SROs, we have “security guards” who block the entrances of the school. However, majority of us students don’t feel as though they’re actually doing anything.
While it wasn't perfect I still had a wonderful time in Arlington Public Schools. The schools I attended were incredibly diverse, I had access to resources and tools that other public schools don't offer. While middle school didn't prepare me for high school , my high school classes and teachers did an excellent job preparing me for college.
