I love this school, but what I love most are the teachers dedication to the students. They clearly have a passion for what they do!
We have the kindest, sweetest kids, the most dedicated teachers and the greatest degree of technology and equipment that our poorly funded system can afford.
Great community in and out of the school. Great academics with the MAAS and now the Middle School MAAS as well. Always striving to be better.
I had a child graduate from this school last year in 07 and felt that she was in a great school with caring teachers and community. I have another child in 4th grade who is completely happy and has had nothing but a+ teachers. This is a great school with a great staff.
The teachers are great! They really care and are very skilled! The best teachers in MI are working in Armada!!
I am a student in Armada High School, and my experiences with the entire district have been unpleasant ones. The school is in serious need of repair, there is an enormous lack of discipline, there are few opportunities for students outside of sports teams, and there are many teachers whom I feel should not be teaching for various reasons. Because of the lack of discipline, I have endured harassment from other students and oftentimes I felt that the behavior of others was interfering with my classes running smoothly. There is tolerance for things that should not be tolerated. Students are not accepting of others' beliefs and place little value in diversity. I would not recommend this school to anybody.
While it has been a few year since I graduated (1999)I feel AHS is an excellent school. While they do not have every class or sport that a larger school has, the teachers are excellent and many of the students care a great deal for their community. There are ample opportunities to be involved in many activities.
I just wanted to comment on the previous response. LOW LEVEL OF PARENT INVOLVEMENT!--You have got to be kidding me! I have never met more caring and involved parents anywhere. I think we have so few discipline and safety problems in our small town because parents in Armada are very in touch with their children.
Armada High is a great school to have your child enrolled in. Yes the school has its faults, like buliding damages, low bugdet, low level of parent involvement but overall it is a great school. The teaching staff is inproving with the hiring of younger teachers who can relate to the students more and the Acadmay. The Acadmay is a great school and gives the students who need a little higer levels so they can strive to be better and not just bored in the high school. Sports is a big thing in Armada, its one of the top proitys but I don't think thats a bad thing it keeps the students busy with after school activtives then out doing drugs or drinking. Armada is a great School I have sent all 3 of my kids there and they got a good education! Go Tigers!
Overall Armada is a good school system. As the kids enter into high school though, the system is not working well. There are students who work exceptionally hard and go to the academy for an advanced education in math and science yet the high school does not work well with these students. Because of this 'great academy' the students are not offered certain advanced classes at the high school that are needed for college. The 2 schools do not work well together and the students are the ones who are loosing out. As for the buildings, they are in need of so much repair it is not even funny. The sports seem to be the most important entity of there education. My children are in the sports and I feel it is important. But things need to be fixed and prioritized. Buildings need help and councelors need to start working together.
