My child would raise his hand to ask for help in class but the help would rarely come. The teacher as other staff always said there are so many students but if there is an issue with getting students help in the class then more in class help should be hired. Not the school I expected. My child got hurt either from falling or playing on the playground and other parts of campus several times but no one ever reported this to me. The office staff is very demeaning and disrespectful to parents, which is one of the several reasons why I took my child out of the school as I do not want to send my child to a school that does not value basic respect of fellow human beings. There are much better schools out there that are that offer much more along with teaching children to be empathic and respectful while obtaining a high value education. I would not recommend this school.

My son entered freshman in American during Covid. It was a difficult time for a lot of his friends doing remote learning but American High School tried their best to accomodate my son and support him. He struggled in the beginning and we were honetly frustrated but realized that the whole remote learning was new even for the teachers. The school, principal and staff were so quick to resolve the issues some kids are having with the remote learning and was able to provide an in-person learning for the kids who were really struggling with it. His counselor and teachers were such a big support that made him from a struggling student to a student ready to go to college on his fourth year. This really helped us as we do not have resources to get him tutoring to help him out in his high school journey. We are both working parents and he pretty much learned everything by himself with the help of his teachers and counselors when he needed extra support. Food was free, although nothing fancy, there was an abundance of it. Milk, fruits, sandwiches, burritos, pizza and chips. He got in their College Connect program and his teachers, counselors were all part of his success to transition to this. This is a program that enables you to get dual credits for college and high school starting on your junior year. This is not for everyone but his teachers were able to help him realize this is for him. He said in terms of facilities, this school is in the older side although some renovations have been made recently but the staff are very helpful which makes up for it. Students here are diverse, sone are very competitive and some don't care. You just have to choose your people and if the students who doesn't want to be in school disrupts your class, just focus on getting through you HS year and your goals in life.

The teachers are really nice, and the lunch is really good. The lunch line isn't as long now because the 6th graders have moved in. Although it still is very crowded, I feel that I have more freedom during socials and lunch periods.
