Aledo High School

My daughter has been in the Aledo ISD since kindergarten. She has learned so much more compared to her friends that attend other districts. The teachers are always accessible for both parents and students. The campuses are well maintained and provide a safe and inviting atmosphere for students to learn.

AHS has wonderful athletics programs, but not to the detriment of academics. If you select the right AP courses and teachers, your child will be well-prepared for college. I say this as an alumnus of Fort Worth ISD's "best" magnet schools. Unless you enjoy TSA-style pat downs, metal detectors, and drive-by shootings, you should abandon the abysmal, dangerous FWISD and head west for Aledo.

As a parent who researched the entire area around Ft Worth when f aced with a big move from Florida I have to say that my husband and I CHOSE Aledo based upon the school district and its perfomance. My daughter has thrived in this environment and we have chosen to stay here because of it until she graduates from high school. She is not athletically inclined and I do not begrudge the district or the community its love of sports. Remember, the community voted for the bond issue that built that stadium and I, for one, am proud to be a part of a small town who is willing to go the extra mile for their kids. She will graduate from a wonderful school with top grades and a great education.

The teachers and staff work well with both the students and the parents to ensure that each child's educational goals are achieved.

This is a warm, safe, challenging environment. The faculty seem happy and very engaging. The athletics is second to none and the facilities are excellent. My child attends this school and I have substituted a few times to check out the campus and the kids. As an old High School AP teacher, it has a very good academic program.

It's an A+ school. The enviornment is great, the students are great, and the extracurricular activity opportunities are endless. Aledo Class of 2011!

I graduated from Aledo several years back and overall think that it is a good school. Obviously the parents on here that are saying there are no activites besides sports have not done their research because I actually took a photography class and my brother took several of the history elective classes that they offer and they were adding more and more class offerings every year. I am sorry, but I think that the problem is that people are expecting too much for a school that only graduates 300 students tops every year. If you are looking for a safe environment with a good education system and a small town feel, Aledo is a great choice.

I think Aledo has a great school program, we (When I say 'we' I am NOT including myself) are a little crazy about sports, but when you overlook that, we have great things to offer the students. The only thing I have to say about Aledo is there are tight groups of friends, and some can be a bit snobby. But, hey, it's highschool! You'll get that anywhere. Once you get involved it makes it much easier to make friends. We have great sports, theatre, arts, and our band is amazing!

I have to disagree with the parent regarding gowth, special needs and sports. We have been here 9 years, our child was barely passing w/SEVERE DYSLEXIA. He is now a SR., finished the TAKS last yr., does well in school, starter in his sport, and has great friends, neighbors, families, teachers, coaches, ect. And makeing college plans. Aledo offers alot more than just sports. Get involved, you will love it. GO ALEDO/GO BEARCATS!!!

Every here has a legitimate comment, in my opinion. The lack of school books is very odd considering the money that went into the stadium. Definitely shows wrong priorities. Families don't need expensive stadium to 'get together' to show community fellowship....just gather and be grateful! It does seem that the schools need more art focus. But, hey...it's rural land and maybe rednecks are more interested in football than violins.
