AIR ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL

A good school for independent learners. Kids who need more oversight might find it difficult to navigate as various teacher use different instructional methods. Overuse of technology in the classroom however, tech has for the most part replaced books. I have no idea who the principal is; in all of our time here I have never seen him/her. Some really dedicated teachers and some that are more politically motivated than necessary. All in all, compared to the Los Angeles highschool of my youth I am thrilled to have my child here instead of there. No school is perfect, this school has more positive than negatives.

Very average, if not slightly above average high school. Slightly sketchy old buildings with asbestos, not a whole lot of interesting things to do on school grounds. Its on a military base, so students pass an armed checkpoint up to 4 times a day. Some great teachers, but most will be fair, teach what needs to be taught and do little more. Only 1 horrible teacher/person. Overall, a relatively high proportion of the students want to do well, so most get good grades and care about learning. I didn't dislike going here, but it wasn't a highlight of growing up. I wasn't pushed to succeed, but I was allowed to.

Most teachers are amazing, fun, engaging and great at getting kids to learn. The best teachers I have ever had work here Management however is not so great. They have become very strict in recent years around dress code, class color days, assemblies and football games. Basically anything involving fun. Little to none school spirit as a result. Also the mascot is a weird bird creature.
