GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Its kinda hard to write about it because Covid had a big in packed in so many ways. I was hard for us to get going and school from home. But the first two years were great. I loved playing football, and my teachers were good. But Covid really sucked.

The school wasn't that bad, Since covid we haven't really been well prepared for college, none of our teachers are helping us out or helping us write college essays or graduation but you can't really blame them since the panademic but they don't even try

Going to A.I. High School is simply what you make out of it. The teachers aren't the worst but not the best. There is a mixture of students that can get you in trouble and help you towards your goals. It's all up to how you handle it.

I'm a sophomore at this school and I have never seen a more unorganized school. I rarely find out about events and etc. with the school because they sometimes don't even say anything about about them.
