Teachers are phenomenal. Academics are ok. Community is a little toxic. There are good people there but the majority are rather cold and plastic. The building is dreadful and falling apart.

The academics at PAA are good, but you definitely miss out on a lot of the more cool opportunities you could have a bigger school. There is no middle college, prom, or many clubs . In general, it just lacks the resources of public schools. The culture at the school was not amazing in my opinion, but if you are SDA it could be a good fit. Just keep in mind that the goal of the school is to push SDA beliefs, if you are into that then you may like it, if not then consider yourself warned. The students and faculty are generally fine. Overall it was a pretty average experience and I would not recommend it to anyone that wants as much as possible out of their high school education and social life.

Although I do agree with the reviewer that kids who may have struggled in other large public schools can do well here. Also it's very expensive; I wish my parents had put the money they paid for my tuition here in...
