The teachers are great. The building is not so great. The school could use some improvements or a new building. Class sizes are about 20-30 people. They offer College-In-The-School classes for Jr and Sr's which is nice. I graduated high school with 50 college credits.

Aitkin is definitely not the school I would have chosen for my own child. The teachers and academics are fairly good, just the students and community aren't very friendly.

I used to be a student here, and they were kind of awful and discriminatory to me and others. Teachers and all.
