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.

Albert Einstein high school is a VERY diverse high school! You will not feel left out here. When I attended, there were unlimited resources to scholarships, jobs, college information and so much more! I even received a scholarship to go to college. At this school, counselors and teachers really encourage you to do your best and to strive for more. It is very hard to fail at this school
Albert Einstein High School is truly the place to be. From the moment you step foot in the building, the atmosphere is welcoming and sociable. One of the unique aspects that Einstein possesses that differentiates it from the other DCC schools is its supportiveness as a whole. Students motivating each other from the classroom to the sports fields. I have never seen a high school like this one. The work ethic of the faculty is impeccable. Encouraging students to go above and beyond from what is expected will genuinely help students be prepared for college. The welcoming milieu, faculty, and students contributes to the success of this wonderful high school.
