I loved it at AEHS! What was so great about it was that we were such a tight community. Everyone knew everyone and we were all friends. Although we each had our own friend groups we all got along with each other. I also loved the diversity. We had so many minorities in our school (myself included) and it was incredible getting to meet people from different cultures. I also loved the school spirit. Our football games, especially our homecoming games, were so fun and exciting! We genuinely had a family atmosphere at AEHS. It was also a great learning experience. While we definitely had some teachers that weren't the greatest, we had many who were incredible. Also, for my specifically, I enjoyed the fact that Einstein has an Academy of Finance. I'm a business major, specifically marketing, and I think that this academy definitely prepared me well for college.
My school is a very good school and well constructed. The school adapts quickly to social change. It uses every resource, advantage, gift, and opportunity it has to grow students and tends to see more resources, advantages, gifts, and opportunities than lower performing schools. It has diverse and compelling measures of success measures that families and communities understand and value. All the staffs including teachers, counselors, securities and are nice, humble, generous, friendly, and patient. A change I would like to see is about the food. It would be better if they provide a healthy meals.
Everyone likes to bash their school, but this one is honestly underrated in my view. Some of the athletic facilities were just redone; for example, we have a big new gym, which is very nice. They offer AP classes and a two-year IB, which makes this school unusually rigorous for an MCPS school. The days of "Crimestein" have been consigned to oblivion; that is to say, it is very safe now. It's true that the staff aren't always super helpful, but the vast majority of the teachers will help you when you need it (this coming from a student who needs help a lot,) and some of the other staff members are alright. This school is kind of like a prep school in my opinion because so much of the culture here is how a large number of our graduates go to college, and because of the AP/IB opportunities here, we get a lot of practice with writing college-level essays and things of that nature. Don't hesitate to come here; it's rough for the first month or so but it gets significantly better over time.
