"As a parent and a staff member I am pleased with the school culture as well as with the comradely between the staff and administration. Two of my children have attend the AAE (one graduated in 2007 and the other will graduate in 2015). The AAE is a small school, only 400+ students at the HS level makes for fewer course choice but smaller class sizes. Some subject teams are stronger than others but if a student is motivated, they can more than "fill their cup" academically as well as athletically. The "love and logic" approach used in many of the classrooms helps the instructors encourage students to realize and face the consequences of their action on a daily basis. The campus "character development officers" (CDO's) also firmly but gently enforce campus discipline and school policy. Since the AAE is a "school of choice" for many families, students may not like the choices their parents make at first, but I have discovered after teaching at the AAE for 11 years, students quickly learn to appreciate the school safe and friendly atmosphere, finding it easier after a year or two to improve their personal levels of academic performance."

"Very safe. Great families. 5th-8th grades have been fine, but HS is a problem, especially in Math & Science. Difficult to get needed help. Many students leave because of the HS teachers. AFJROTC is a strong program. All staff members are very courteous. We have children in MS & HS and we are hoping to stay with AAE to the end with both, but will change High Schools if necessary. This could be a wonderful school with better leadership and a few changes in teachers."

"I went to AAE for grades 9-12. I really liked the fact that the classrooms weren't too big. The Literature teachers were all amazing, but the math and science teachers fell short. There were a few teachers that were some of the worst teachers I've ever had in my life (all math and science teachers). Whenever there were some rowdy people in class the teachers wouldn't really do anything about it, therefore making it harder for others to learn. Overall I had a good experience, especially my senior year. Those teachers were the best!"

"the school is very tough and will help your child. Some activities during school however are very challenging and difficult but with time your child will understand what is being is given to him/her to learn and understand."
