The excellent support for all students in the school and help to enroll for the university, the variety of activities and the kindness.
5/2/2023
Although some of the cons outweigh the good, Amphi High is still a good school for people that don't have another school in there area. Around 90% of the staff are friendly and support us students throughout our high school journey, but the rest really drag you back. Administration could also work with a revamp.

My experience is so far good. There's so many opportunity they offer for you to grow as an individual. The school makes sure that you are on the right path for your future career. The staff is so nice and they are there for you when you need help, so you don't drown.

My daughter received a concussion and her teachers and the staff went above and beyond to help her get back on track and not fall behind. Go panthers!

So many things awful about amphi high, for one bullying here is ok or at least ignored by all staff including teachers here. Another awful thing someone needs a legit reason just to see THERE OWN COUNSELOR. If your considering attending amphi or your child then please DON'T.
