Amphitheater is a high school we're you can be yourself, express who you truly are without being laughed at in your face. It's a welcoming place, the teachers make it warm and welcoming.
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.
8/8/2022
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.

Don’t have your kids be enrolled as students the staff have no idea how to run a school. They push problems aside especially big ones and focus on irreverent unnecessary “problems”. They have favorites and push others aside. They dont know how to keep students safe. They are terrible at communicatin...

The teachers are very good in my experience with my child at Amphi High. When she was not doing well in some classes and the teachers stayed and helped her, and she began to do much better. The music teachers have supported her and taught her to be a better person along with the music. The counselor...

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!
3/11/2015
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.
