Overall, it was a good school. It is challenging academically and encourages students to succeed and challenge themselves.

I have had a great experience here! i am a military child so i move a lot so making friends and getting good grades is sometimes hard in the moving around so much. I got to AAHS my junior year of high school and immediately fell in love with this school. The teachers and students here are so so sweet and understanding of what it's like to be a military kid.

This is an amazing school. There are many opportunities in things you can do. But along with an amazing school there are still some things they need to improve. Once you get in trouble once you get targeted, they always think your the problem even if you weren't involved. Other than that there is nothing wrong.

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!!
