School Reviews
5 10/10/2025
Argos high school provided our daughter an excellent education the small school format was prefect. She transferred there to start her junior year. We drove her daily out of town to attend school as the school corporation where we reside did not meet either of our children's educational needs. We regret that our had a horrible opportunity as well as our daughter at Plymouth school corporation. We finally got our son into alternative high school. That is housed in Plymouth corporation but is for a co-op for county. Plymouth focuses too much on sports and fancy new ideas and technology. They can't get the basics right. Argos has technology provides a dedicated staff and regrisous circumlium. Our daughter practically received a private education from a small public school that hadn't lost sight of what's right educating children for their futures whether college vocational training or job force. Wish we had enough bravery to do this with our son. But he did okay at alternative highschool and thankful for that opportunity
