Pretty good, definitely one of my favorite schools I've been too. It's a small campus so you basically know everyone when you reach your final year of high school. I've grown up with all the students who were in my freshman class and it's great! The school also has free tutoring hours and the classes range from 18-23 students, so you get one and one help and attention from the teacher. There's no sports here, but that makes up for having horses on campus to work with and get free college. Throughout your years here at AAEC, you get a number of college classes at the neighborhooding school (PVCC). If you keep on track, by the time you finish AAEC you can earn your Associates Degree.
So, my freshman year… Not the best. But what got me through the year were my supportive teachers. Every teacher was young, understanding, and supported their students. I’d say the first thing that shocked me was the lack of diversity. There is a lot of white people, and I felt really out of place because I was mixed— white and Asian (it’s not so much an issue for me anymore). Then the resources are provided with the college (counselors and stuff). There are very minimal clubs, but that’s because it’s a small school. The school also doesn’t focus on the arts much, you’ll take your humanities at the college. Lastly, the school does well with career readiness/searching. In agriscience you’ll go over SAEs (supervised agricultural experiences) and do research on careers related to agricultural science (careers could include anything from actual farming to filming).
I was so glad to have my high school experience at AAEC-PV! The teachers are amazing and always made sure everyone was feeling supported and were ready to help with any issues you had. We also had an amazing admin staff, especially my last two years who were always welcoming. The only downside to AAEC-PV is the lack of sports, but honestly, that was never that big of a deal for me.
