I am going to be a freshman at Athens High School and even though I am not yet enrolled, the school is very excellent. They have expanded their foreign language to two choices now. Those are French and Spanish. The music program is growing and I am in the band. They are planning on splitting up the band.

I have been very disappointed in this school,they do not give help to the kids that really want to learn yet have problems. If a students not doing well in a subject you should do everything you can to help. Yet we have teachers who will only help if the student will do it at the teachers convenience.

We're very disappointed in the quality of education at this school. Mediocrity & 'good enough for them' is the attitude of the district and town. They feel there is no world outside of Athens, so why progress? It's far from a college-prep school. We've had enough & are moving out.

Athens High School is a school with opportunity. The academic program there is good, and it has a great music and art program. Though parents are too much involved, if you were looking for a small town high school to go to, Athens is the place. I loved my days a AHS.

Severly lacking in the academic programs. Only one foreign language to pick from (Spanish). Dangerous bullies. Nearly zero support for the arts or music. Football is practically worshiped, and Coaches do double duty as sub-par science teachers. Extreme predjudice of anything out of the ordinary.
