I really liked the teacher at Air Academy and appreciated the school's support and resources. Unfortunately, there was a big gap in diversity, which made it hard for me to connect with other students of color.

I believe that Air Academy High School is a very good school. The students are diverse and the teacher are very friendly and helpful. The athletics are well put together and are very inclusive. However, the school is pretty old and run down. I would like to see upgrades to the bathrooms, the baseball and softball fields, and the overall cleanliness. I am aware that there is a shortage on custodians and Air Academy does not get much funding for these sports, but it would be nice to see that change.

It is a great school, the teachers and administration truly care about their students. Student success is one of the many things Air Academy strives for. Athletics is a fantastic program, the coaches are phenomenal across all of our sports and my coaches make a difference in my life every day. The Kadet musical art program is also highly successful and our band has even been featured in multiple national parades. Our school spirit is what truly sets us apart. We always say "Once a Kadet always a Kadet".

Horrible. The laziness of teachers on top of their over the top political views which are thrust down our kids throats is out of control. This school and it’s district ARE NOT what the hype will try to make you believe. Do your research, ask around. We have since moved from this district to another...

Definitely not an awful school, but could be better. Whether or not you have good classes just depends on the teachers you get. I don't really like how they've changed the schedule, and I wish they had more places for students to go during academy or a partial that they could study quietly if they w...

AAHS is a great platform for any student whether college bound or entering the workforce. As a 1978 graduate, I can attest to the excellence of this school. Academics, Sports, Music, etc. "It's a matter of pride" is one of their mottos and was true then as it is now. Go Kadets!!
