Overall it is a great environment where all students can enjoy their time there. The staff is very helpful when it comes to things like scheduling. The only thing that I dislike is they are too lenient with students that get in trouble out of fear of parent backlash.

I loved the small classes and the teachers were excellent at their jobs! Each of them were so nice and cared about getting everyone to understand the course! The other faculty were amazing as well and the principle is outstandingly amazing at her job. AHSTW is where it's at!

Most teachers don't teach. Favor certain kids and give them good grades even if the kids don't turn anything in at all. Only cares about passing the kids without trying to get them to learn. Bullying is a major problem and is never dealt with what-so-ever.

School is more interested in saving money by hiring inexperienced teachers than they are at educating. Inexperienced administration, again; high turnover. Horrible ethical behavior of some extra staff. Choose another school.
