This high school is not what it should be. In my opinion it does well in the history/ literature areas, but it falls short in the sciences and math. The biology teacher is tough, but she does a good job of learning acquisition. Higher math and chemistry teachers are poor. They don't make the subject understandable and they are rather pejorative in their treatment of the student. The department head for science is a joke. Parental input is welcomed but rarely taken seriously. However, it is a pretty safe school.
I have two boys. They are in 5th and 8th grade. They are happy to go to school each day. They are being challenged to work at a higher level than at previous school. They both feel safe and seem to have a sense of pride about their school. What a blessing.
I have three children who attend AAE, one senior, one freshman and one in Kindergarten. After fleeing the public schools in the area several years ago, we have tried several options, finally sending my older kids to private school - paying more than my house payment. We have been at AAE for several years and we could not be happier. The older kids have been able to build some great relationships in this smaller setting, with their peers and their teachers. One of the teachers even called me when she was concerned about my son adjusting and being comfortable after he first started here. At the high school level, most teachers cannot even name all of their students and certainly do not make the time to call a parent with a concern. The principal and staff are great - we feel like part of the family.
