The knowledge and connections one gains throughout the pathway programs is extremely valuable. I will likely cherish the advice of my pathway teachers for the remainder of my life. Despite these wonderful aspects, I feel personally that the school has become a breeding ground for unhealthy competition, especially in terms of academics.

I am a rising senior at Alliance Academy for Innovation and I love it there. I have been at the school since I was a freshman and I felt like it has excellent resources. I have found my place at Alliance and love the culture there. The teachers are very nice and love to help out wherever they can. The people are amazing and I have made several lifelong friends there. The school building itself is very large and is equipped with everything a student could want.

I think AAI is overall a good school, but I wish that encouraged more creative pathways. I also wish that it was less competitive. I would say that the importance placed on college is part of the reason. Also it's culture places a lot of value on high grades which is unfair to those who don't do as good at school.

The teachers are so engaging with the students. This school is for all students on different levels. The small classroom sizes were a plus for us. Alliance Academy prepared my son to for an internship at end of his junior year in high school.

Students are always on their phones and earbuds, even during class instruction. You have a few different types of students here.-Pressured for good grades Typically boys, their parents obviously pressure them for good grades.
