I loved having the freedom to take what I was interested in! I thought that the school has changed a bit since I started going there. When I went, it was hard work, but I learned a lot. I would recommend this school if you are a self starter, who will challenge yourself to learn. My favorite aspect was that it was a small school so I got to know all of my peers better.
I was a student many years ago here and would NEVER send my child to this school. Yes, the school is great academically but they cannot see past that. A student need options in these four years: sports, drama, arts, etc. ASTI presents NO support in these activities. Student-athletes should not consider this place. Since I graduated, the population has grown more white than mixed and the staff here harassed me more than my peers. I felt left out, judged, and neglected as a POC. They only care about "star" students and if you are struggling usually toss you to the corner. We had some students who left due to terrible LGBTQ+ and mental health support. I would recommend AP classes at a regular high school or another charter school. Unless your child can remain quiet and be a teacher's pet, let them grow somewhere else.
*Also, young girls beware as this is a junior college campus. Had multiple run-ins with older men trying to connect or stalk us with staff barely helping.

Overall it’s a very good and slightly rigorous school. However, favoritism is a large component of this school so do be cautious of that. The teachers are also pretty good overall and you’ll probably end up getting the same teachers more than once since it’s such a small school.
P.S ] This school might ruin your self confidence since almost everyone at this school is considerably “at the top of the class”. You’re surrounded by students who devoted to their education so it’s not one of those schools where you can slack off and do the bare minimum.
