A lot of these reviews are dishonest. As a sophomore at AHS, this school is so bad. Weed is popular, students are depressed (me included.) Drama runs rampant, bullying is common and so are fights. We've had two teachers turn out to be creeps and several more have been reported for being creepy towards students and the administration has done nothing to help the students. Espeically with mental health struggles. A girl quite literally offed herself in our bathrooms last year. If that doesn't clue you in on how bad this school is, I don't know what will.

I loved the PLTW program, some of the staff, and extra programs offered. What I feel can be changed is some policies, staffing racists teachers, etc

The teachers are very knowledgeable in their subjects; however, when it comes to answering student's questions they are not the best. Furthermore, many of the teachers seem more focused on getting their doctorates than their actual job of teaching. Also, they do very little to help students in college.

I am extremely impressed with this school. I was worried after sending my son to private school that he wouldn’t be as successful. He has actually been more challenged by the AP courses that are offered to him.

We have had a great experience with both teachers and academics at Affton High. Bullying is not tolerated.
