"As a current student at AI High School, there can not be more of a sense of community in a public high school. As a student, you are immersed and privileged in one of the best educations you can receive at a Delaware public high school. Academics take a front seat to all clubs, sports and other activities, so it is no surprise to see that many star athletes are also honors or AP students. The atmosphere at AI is unparalleled and even though I am a Junior at the time of this writing, I can't be more proud of what I have accomplished in the 2 1/2 years that I have been here. AI has deservingly been named among Newsweek's Best American High Schools among the DE private and public schools. I highly recommend this school to any incoming students and wish the best of luck to all of them!"

"I have a senior & a sophmore at AI. The class offerings, faculty, & administrators are the best in Red Clay. Parental involvement at AI is incredible - thus the unbelievably successful band & sports boosters & PTSA. The sports & club offerings are second to none! AI is the 'total package.' Proud to be a Tiger!"

"As a parent of two students at this school, I have to agree that it is somewhat over rated. The administration is full of threats with little disciplinary action to back it up with. It is completely overcrowded, so if you need to switch classes for any reason, it is very difficult. I am not a fan of the guidance department either. If my kid relied on her counselor to help her with college applications, she'd end up being a waitress. Yes, the band is a proud and well supported organization, but if you are not in band, you are left out."

"As an alumni of A.I., and a parent of a current student, I cannot praise the school, staff, and students at the school enough. As with any organization of its size, there are flaws. But the positives outnumber the negatives one hundred fold. I have so many fond memories of my time there. As does/will my son. One final note... It's too bad that those that belittle and degrade the school do not feel confident enough to put their name to the words that they write."
