Academy for Information Technology Reviews
Rating 4.09 out of 5 122 reviews
The Academy for Information Technology is a great school to attend if you are pursuing a business/information technology path as a career. You have focused vocational classes teaching business to programming languages like Java. However, the school does not provide the greatest of technological resources. Students only have Chromebooks and Desktops at the school often have their issues which makes it hard to use. Funding dedication in this area isn't the greatest. The counselors help you every step along the way in assisting your application up to college. The food here is average, not the greatest but there are secondary choices always such as hamburgers aside from the main lunch.
This school is pretty great, with extremely engaging teachers who care about their students. The smaller class sizes and specialized programs are great for creating bonds between the students and the teachers. There is a strong sense of community here and everyone helps each other out. Though this school prepares students well for their transition into college, it also adds a ton of stress on us at a young age. This is why I rated AIT 4/5 stars. Other than the stress, this school provides positive feelings of inclusivity and overall positivity. The school traditions are also worth a mention. Before the pandemic we hosted large scale campus events, such as AHA Day, a day to celebrate and to teach others about cultures. We also participate in FBLA, relay for life, as well as many other clubs and organizations. Overall, this school presents a wonderful high school experience.
I felt that the academic environment and the teachers were very good. The environment especially helped to motivate students to perform well academically. However, the school has problems with teacher retention- for example, from 2018-2022, the school had two comp-sci teachers leave and 3 come to fill in the gaps. School spirit is nonexistent. There are no sports, and the few clubs that are there exist solely for the purpose of looking good on a college resume.
