My overall experience was good. I did not have any problem with the teachers or staff. I think the teachers are what actually made my time at AAE worthwhile despite how preposterous the grading system was.

My experience with The Academy of Aerospace and Engineering has been mixed. There has been great moments which I have cherished, such as events like International Night, which is a night where students ranging from various backgrounds all come together to celebrate each other and the food. However, the education and safety can be an issue for some.

I went here in 6th grade most of the year there was not much teachers and the math teacher was out EVERY day and the whole year I didn't learn anything and in 7th grade the teachers where bad. And the bullying is out of control and the teachers and students are mean. DONT GO HERE EVER AND DONT SEND...
