...I'm still in highschool, and I'm on ft/sec^2.

  I find that to be...disappointing. I mean, is there a U. S. high schooler today that couldn't handle a metric measurement? When I was in high school we were trying to get there with dual measurement road signs (km/miles) and metric soft drink bottles. Then Reagen got into office, viewed the metric system as some sort of communist plot, and axed the Bureau of Metric Whatever back in the 80s. So we had an excuse. These days I'd think it almost unconscionable to teach kids scientific measurements in anything but metric.

    I dunno. We've used metric in other sciences, and I've only encountered acceleration in passing as of yet. Maybe we'll get metric units in Physics.

      For your sake, I hope you do. I prefer miles, feet, and farenheight for every day use, but for science metric is king.
