Ardsley High School Reviews
Rating 3.74 out of 5 145 reviews
I really enjoyed my experience at Ardsley High School. I had only about 2 bad teachers during all 4 years of schooling. I have made great connections with many of the staff, making me feel comfortable asking questions in class. The sports also bring everyone together and the student section is so alive and always being the teams biggest fans.
I think the education at this school is very good. In truth, I have not been to other schools to compare it to, but from hearing about schools from friends, I can say that I am properly challenged with academics and that I always feel safe in this environment.
I'd say that as an artist it can be frustrating since Ardsley is very STEM focused. The art department is clearly not taken very seriously and can be the subject of budget cuts (such as the school musical). It can feel isolating when you love art but it's overshadowed by math and science.
In terms of college readiness, the school is too focused on one path-- getting into competitive colleges and looking down/ being afraid of other paths. I think there should be more encouragement for community college, international schools, scholarships, gap years, non-traditional careers etc.
Overall, the students are very competitive and career focused. However, this can makes someone who is not a traditional student feel very lost.

I came to Ardsley high school last year as a sophomore. There were only 3 transfer students, including me, in my grade last year. At first, it was very hard to adjust to everything, yet the entire student body as well as teachers and staff were pretty much all very welcoming and to my surprise, it did not take me long to get used to the classes and everything. Besides the competitive yet manageable academics, AHS also has a variety of clubs; students are also allowed and encouraged to create their own clubs. Though their cafeteria food is not the best, I genuinely like this school and do recommend it to other people.
