Athens High School is a great place to go to school at. It has a diverse school body and many different electives and after-school activities. The teachers are all very friendly and they teach in a timely and very helpful/understanding manor.

I went to Athens high school, and graduated in 2023. I will say overall it's a good school, and a nice campus. Their security is decent, and the rules and dress code are easy to follow. However the cafeteria could use a major improvement, and I'm talking about the food. There are many food options, but the quality of the food isn't that great. Again overall the school is good but if the cafeteria improved it would be the perfect school.

I've had an okay experience with Athens High School. Throughout my 4 years here, I can really just say I barely made it through. The administrators are more worried about drugs and dress code than kids learning. The teachers care more about your grades than you as a person. The food was nasty, but it's free. The sports teams are decent, but super fun.

This was my son’s first year at AHS. Overall, it was a good year. It is by no means a perfect place, but no school is and I’m not pulling him to homeschool or drive to Tyler for a better option. I believe that the administration is making great strides to make AHS a better and more effective place f...

AHS has been great for my kids. They have enjoyed the athletic program, and have had wonderful teachers as well!
5/31/2018
My time at AHS was met with many obstacles for which I'm grateful, since they helped me grow into an independent, mature student who can navigate the educational system with ease. The extracurriculars are very well funded, and I take pride in seeing the accomplishments of the teams of which I was a...
