Been here a long time and I still love Aiken High.

It certainly easy to criticize a school and it staff, as I’m one of the first ones to do it. They had a lot of change in the staff, including principal and assistant principal. Last year I wasn’t too happy about that. However, on defense of the new principal, Miss Brooks, she truly is very engaged in the students, well-being and education.. if I’m not mistaken, she came from a high school assistant principal. She is very engaged with the children and their entire families and bringing people together, which is awesome . When we first moved here a year and a half ago we put her on the list to go to a charter school and just recently received a call to get her into horse Creek Academy. I was truly excited when we got the call, but believe when you have children who have friends at a school that it’s detrimental to relocating them to another school. So she will remain at Aiken Elementary .. where I feel like she is flourishing because the principal make sure she gets what she needs in her education and emotional support. Those things are truly detrimental to a child growing up..

the administration team is absolutely amazing and aside from one or two teachers (like every school) they are all fantastic educators.

I found this school to be a breath of fresh air. I wish it was more than just a 6th grade school. All the staff was friendly and helpful. The teachers were very involved and enthusiastic about teaching and informing parents of how our students were doing. The school had a number of great events and the school regularly informed students and parents of character traits and other motivational goals the children were working on and learning about to benefit them socially, emotionally and academically. My daughter had one teacher who wasn't very organized and seemed to have too many students, but all the rest of her teachers were great. She loved that school and so did her friends and they didn't want to leave.
