This school is a very interesting place. There is lots of encouragement to join clubs and sports even though our sports teams aren't that good. We all love to go and support our sports events. We also have some of the best teachers who make learning fun and make you want to come to school.

it's definitely a very diverse school, with many programs and open to everyone. Teachers are interesting some are great people but awful teachers.

The best part of going to Albuquerque High School is how down to earth it is. There's no preppy or snobby culture. The worst aspect of the school is how underfunded it is.

Incredibly dangerous for children. Presents and is described by most students as a prison. Many staff are barely going through to the motions. Fighting, guns, drugs and lack of educated supervisors are present. Truly, this school should be closed and dismantled.

I maintain the schools and have been around the district for years. I was amazed how some teachers donate thousands of dollars out of pocket to buy machines and supplies for the students, great job AHS.
