I'm currently a junior and AHS is really good. I was worried because the reviews are always so bad but the school is great and the students are really nice. Great teachers who are very nice. I did track and I'm terrible but the coaches and team were so supportive. They have good communication about events and opportunities. I like the weekly newsletters. From what I can tell, the special education system is great too. I was a TA for a remedial/I have no idea classroom and the teacher and students were awesome. Mr. DeRose is good too, a nice guy. The workload isn''t bad either its just that you'll often have multiple tests on the same day. Not a lot of violence. Actually, none at all this year. I can't remember any fights. Some vaping in bathrooms but it's definitely better than before. The stalls aren't super crowded now!IB diploma is super hard but the teachers are very helpful and Ms. Bradshaw gives good advice. I wish there were better books in the library though.The extracurricular are great! There's every club you could imagine, seriously. Even if there isn't one you want you can start one. I think it's pretty easy (?) lots of leadership opportunities either wayI swear, I've had so many great teachers. Especially this year.

My son who is now in HS attended Annandale Terrace Elementary. He was in the advanced academics program from 3rd grade on and continues to do honors coursework in high school. And my daughter is currently a student at Annandale Terrace and also thriving, both academically and socially. The current principal and staff are amazing!

I am in 8th grade and have been t this school for 3 years. I n my experience, the safety during 6th and 7th grade was... not good. But, during 7th grade there was this HUGE fight and I mean HUGE. So huge that they changed the whole schedule so there were less people in the hallways, and that was that. Now, in 6th and 7th grade I had problems with my attendance, I was just late every morning. So they did nothing until late 7th grade, like 4th quarter 7th grade. They gave me after school detention. For TARDIES. Instead of sitting down with me and my parents to try and find a solution they gave me detention and it didn't do ANYTHING. Don't worry I fixed the problem myself, no thanks to Poe, but the theater department is very supportive. I am biased on that though. Overall, the experience was decent but there was a lot of meltdowns along the way. There is a lot they can improve on, but its fine I guess.
