AHS was a great learning and growing experience for me. As a student with Autism, I was integrated into regular classes, with one social skills class, taught by Valorie Potter. I learned so much, and made so many great friends, many of whom I am still close with today. I will never forget my time at

Although it is true that many teachers may not be the best, it is completely false to say that the school does not allow you to take any courses after Algebra II.

Yes the teacher helps you learn but it depends on the student if he or she wishes to learn anything. I have taken one AP class but I am not an AP/honors student. However, I am doing very well and I feel that I am being challenged. Maybe not as challenged as other schools but quite challenged. Read less

Agoura High caters more to the high achievers and the average student is left behind. The extracurricular activities and sports programs for the most part are very good. A number of the teachers should have retired long ago and there is little support for those students who are struggling. Have 3 children

I have sent three children to this school, and the first two transferred in their sophomore and junior years. They had problems socially and emotionally, and the school would not address them. WIth my third I was hopeful. He was a GATE student, successful by every measure in middle school, very popular.

He became bored with the classes offered, started asking to homeschool, dropped AP classes and spends all his time on activities, not academics. The counselors have talked to him, but not to me, just as they did with the first two. After a wonderful experience at Lindero Canyon Middle School, I have to think Agoura HS is just not up to the same high standards. Read less

There are teachers who are past their prime-they are angry, rude, and should no longer be teaching. However, this yr there are some young, energetic new teachers. Parents clearly need to be sure that their teenagers get everything in writing--because without it, no one will assist you!
