I really liked the teacher at Air Academy and appreciated the school's support and resources. Unfortunately, there was a big gap in diversity, which made it hard for me to connect with other students of color.

Air Academy was a good experience overall. The school culture was great, and the administration was good overall. The teachers were mostly great, with only a few that didn't do their best work. Facilities could definitely use improvement; the building was built in the 60s and many parts haven't been renovated since then.

Air Academy provides so many opportunities to students, especially when it comes to extracurriculars! In my there, I got chances to perform and work with many, many talented people and was encouraged by my teachers and peers every step of the way!

Definitely not an awful school, but could be better. Whether or not you have good classes just depends on the teachers you get.

AAHS is a great platform for any student whether college bound or entering the workforce. As a 1978 graduate, I can attest to the excellence of this school. Academics, Sports, Music, etc. "It's a matter of pride" is one of their mottos and was true then as it is now. Go Kadets!!
