A-Tech High School hands down is a Well Oiled Machine. The principal and the faculty have all worked or know each other before working at the high school. They love each other and that love is spread to the students. Very student minded and focused. They are always trying to find ways to better help and serve not only the students but the parents too. My son was NEVER bullied at this school and they DO NOT condone that type of conduct. My son's growth over the 4 years there was incredible. We are forever grateful.

Automotive is a relatively small school with roughly 350 students, everyone knew everyone, that made it feel like a small community. Automotive lacked gender diversity the male to female ratio was overwhelming where there were more male than females.

Automotive High School is definitely an adventurous school allowing students to learn more on field trips and hands on work. Students work on cars while others participate in club activities like the Student Ambassador and National Honor Society. There are alot of help for college readiness like SAT prep.

This school is a Vocational school for teaching automotive trades not for collage oriented. Today we need more Auto Mechanics, Auto Body Techs, Welders. That was taught at the school when I was there. Yes, academic studies and computer skills are important today with all the modern updates that are...

I graduated in 1967 and was trying to find if the school had a PS number like my junior HS PS145 and elementary PS149. Most of these loaded questions are not really applicable to circa 1967
