Academic Magnet High School Reviews
Rating 4.26 out of 5 289 reviews
Most Magnet peers are quite nice and welcoming. The clubs are quite welcoming and school spirit is competitive at Magnet. Because it is a smaller high school than others in the area, students are able to connect more with the teachers. The average student teacher interaction is quite casual and the teachers do listen to you. However, the workload is tough because the teachers tend not to communicate with one another about assignments, quizzes, tests, and projects. Therefore, there would be waves of work in short periods of time. Overall, the experience is quite pleasant.
Academic Magnet High School has provided the perfect place for my academic growth and advancement over the past four years. By offering a variety of Honors, AP, and dual credit classes, many of which I’ve enrolled in, I have felt academically challenged and satisfied throughout all of my courses. My favorite program at AMHS is the foreign language program, which has allowed me to partake in Spanish classes during my entire high school career, including my current enrollment in AP Spanish. This program has strengthened my Spanish-speaking skills and helped prepare me for my desired study abroad trip in college to Spain so that I can immerse myself in authentic Spanish culture and perfect my foreign tongue. This way, I will be able to communicate proficiently with Hispanic hospital patients through my future medical aspirations to become a doctor.
The school as a whole is nice, compared to my middle and elementary school. The main thing is that the school lacks diversity, which can get to me sometimes. Besides that, I think the rigor of the school is adequate, a majority of the teachers are both wonderful people and educators, and school life is pretty interesting due to all of the events and other similar happenings that occur at AMHS.
Mostly, I'd like to see more minority groups making it into the school. As someone who has been a part of a minority group for all of my life, knowing that other kids like me can succeed would motivate me to pursue an academic experience like that of Magnet.
