Ask what activities it actually offers.
At 6.4:1 students to teachers, American Sign Language & English Secondary School sits well below the national average. Smaller classes like that usually mean more one-on-one time between students and teachers.
97% of students at American Sign Language & English Secondary School were chronically absent in the 2022-23 school year, above the national average.
