GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I would like to change the new schedule that they have implemented for the following year. I find that 96 minute classes is too much.

AITE is a great academic school focusing on STEM however there is a lack of school spirit, and no sports.

I am a transfer student at AITE and it's been an alright experience.I have access to a free train pass and teachers can be kind.It is a smaller school so you can be closer with your teachers and I have had great experience in my learning and classes because of this.I am an African American student and I would say there is a lack of that here.Ali there is a problem with non black students constantly saying the n word with no repercussions but I guess that can be said for any highschool.We have many enjoyable classes here so if you are interested in art technology or computer science this would be the perfect school for you.

AITE has proved very beneficial to my son. He has a wonderful guidance councelor and there are many wonderful "above par" teachers. There is a wide variety of students with many different cultural backgrounds, but with this, each kid "fits in". It is refreshing to hear my son say that everyone respe...
