GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

They keep cutting teachers out of popular programs, the schedules are always messed up, and the guidance counselors don't offer the best guidance.

It has a nice school set and most of the teachers are nice. As far as student body you have your good and your bad about it. The school isn't very diverse, many of the people in the community as a whole have attended the very high school their kids are now. If you are coming for sports though, basketball takes the lead as the football team isn't very good anymore. Academics are on an average scale in my opinion, not as many selections as other schools around would have.

The school is home to an incredibly diverse group of students and teachers. However, it is sometimes difficult to focus your schedule on the classes geared for your own future career.

We need more teachers,...

The teachers are terrible! They act like teenagers themselves! They gossip about one another and they gossip about other students. If you don`t fit their ideal type of student you get treated terribly and there is no room for growth. The classes at this school are a complete joke. They don`t prepare...

I cannot say enough about the teachers, staff and administrators at AAHS. My child recently had a medical emergency during school hours. Her teacher, administrators and school nurse responded quickly and professionally. After the incident, great lengths were taken by many to ensure there was no brea...
