GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Alliance creates this unique atmosphere where everyone wants to be there to succeed. Most of the teachers and students are all passionate and admin/teachers want to help students succeed. While the social aspect can be difficult at times especially if you go against the grain, you will find your people and the actual staff at the school are supportive.

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.

It has been a rewarding 4 years of high school for me. The academic setting is just awesome and is the best school for students who are academically inclined and self-driven. A special call out to all the clubs and extracurricular activities the school provides.
