NJHP, ACHS, and ACS all embraced democratic shared governance by the students, staff, principal and parents.
In the early years of NJHP, staff and students gathered at the beginning of each "cycle" (quarters) to hammer out a schedule of classes together.
In 2010, the school district added an addition to the building and enrollment grew to 305 students with a wait list of over one hundred.
LACS is one of 28 public high schools in the New York Performance Standards Consortium that oversees waivers to the Regents Exams.
As part of the consortium, LACS has added Performance-Based Assessment Tasks (PBATs) in English, social studies, mathematics and science as an additional graduation requirement beginning with the class of 2017.
