During my time at Amite High Magnet, I got to be part of a great baseball team. I was an officer in several school clubs and was even in the Top 10. I enjoyed my time here but when I graduated I was ready to leave. I would like to see the faculty change and the inclusiveness include more students of different ethnicities. The diversity of this school needs to change.

The best parts of my experience is the school activities and competitions. The bad experiences is school lockdowns, fighting, "illegal" activities, etc.

As a student I feel the school gives me a college readiness experience. My school has a lot of diversity and you can learn about different cultures and ethnicity. The facility and Staff feels like family and wouldn't hesitate to put everything aside to help when asked. Even though they might not be number 1 in academics they are very concerned that we get the best education.

Amite high leaves alot to be desired. My child has been attending this school for 4 years now, and she is not prepared for college at all!! They need new teachers. The teachers we have had in the last couple of yrs were terrible and lazy. One in particular would allow the kids to cheat on papers and...

My school may not be the best, but it is a good school. People try to make Amite High School out of the worst school in the parish, but I strongly disagree with that. We do learn and our teachers and other administrators are working hard to install knowledge into our minds. Our school scores are als...
