The academics are challenging and the classes are small yet engaging and teachers are always willing to find time to meet with you. There are so many different traditions such as International Day and Sing Out that truly make the school unique. Not to mention the college counseling you get here is TOP NOTCH! AOA is a “liberal arts” high school with huge a huge focus on writing and college readiness. The STEM departments are there for those who want to partake. The performing arts and visual arts programs are up and coming and if you enjoy the arts, there are many opportunities for you to do so. If you are a person who embraces diversity, loves a good challenge, and is willing to try new things then AOA is the school for you.
I spent nearly my entire childhood at AOA, and I love the school with all of my heart. The academics here are fantastic, and if college preparation is what's most important to you, this is the place to go. It's very small, with only about 350-400 students from Pre-K-12, do you'll most definitely get the personal attention in the classroom. The main complaints I have is that while it does have a large sense of community, almost like a family, it doesn't produce a large amount of school pride in the students. There are also not a lot of options for clubs and activities, which is to be expected at a school this small. The sports scene is complicated, as we have some sports like basketball and soccer which are consistently very good, but then we have many other sports that are very bad and are almost forgotten. Overall, however, I love the school. It feels like home, and you can make some very close friendships with people.
I gave my school a 3/5 because I've experienced more bad things than good. The school has great education, but the teachers are terrible. They aren't concerned about students most of the time and they teach just to get the lesson done. I've also experienced racial discrimination at my school a number of times, which really sucks. They made my dislike the school 3x more. When I transferred from a public school, I was excited to experience a learning style and i definitely did. The school is great prep for college, but when I'm in those classes I feel like I'm there, but i'm not. The reason why I gave my school stars is because its a college prep school and I also gained many friends while attending there. Those are the people who make me want to go to school every morning. I sound very typical, talking about not liking school, but that's how my experience was going to private school.
