Going to AHS was the best decision I could have made. My family open enrolls from the Gilbert school district to attend better schools and I have had an amazing experience. The opportunities are vast, and there are countless ways to get involved. People do not have a hard time finding friends and it is possible to do so many different things. For example, band kids can also be sports stars and your interests do not define you at Ames High. Compared to other schools, bullying is not a problem at AHS and everyone has friends. Compared to some of the stories I’ve heard from friends who go to Gilbert, where many students have a hard time fitting in Ames, they will decide to come to Ames and have an excellent experience. I would recommend AHS to anyone, whether they live in the Ames district or not.

I attended AMS from 2019-22. It was an excellent experience. The teachers care and the opportunities are superior to other schools in Iowa. I felt well prepared for high school and made great friendships. The school building is nice and the administration is great. Recently, my sister went through AMS and had an amazing 3 years getting involved with band and choir. The band program at AMS is the best in the state, winning major awards and having countless students selected for top placement in honor bands.
