Overall the school struggles to keep student involvement and tends to ignore the true problems to only focus on sports. They have very strong sports, agricultural education, and art studies programs. However, the biggest problem is the lack of math teachers or those who are able to adapt. In contrast, they have an excellent sciences department that is able to be very diverse in their teaching.

I love that this is a small-town school. I am a senior this year it is weird to think about how I have grown up with all the kids in my grade. I will miss this school I have lots of memories here.

I've lived in Aurora my whole life. I've always thought the learning opportunity at Aurora is awesome. They offer dual credit classes and online courses. Some student have graduated with an Associates's Degree.

The school district has done away with grade averages and gone to a standards based grading system. In theory it sounds good, however in application; in the Aurora R-8 school district, it is a disaster. Parents, teachers, and students are up in arms over the new system. Teachers feel threatened that...

Aurora schools teach the kids small town values - like helping others, working hard and community pride. There is no other place I would rather send my kids.

To the Choir- I believe you were in Chicago at the Shedd Acquarium on May 28th,2011. I was sitting with my mother celebrating her 90th birthday with our family. When you saw it was her birthday you all Sang Happy Birthday to her outside the Shedd and then "May the Good Lord Bless you and Keep you"....

I for one believe Aurora High School is a very good school. Although sports are considered important I do not feel the school is over accommodating to the players of these sports. The new high school is a very nice place with new everything. Sorry for the first poster who felt it was inadequate.
