My son transfered as a sophomore to AA&M.  I heard the school had problems in the past but our experience this year has been great.  The administration & counselor are truly interested in kids.  It is academically challenging with many honors & AP classess to choose from.  many electives are offered & the students are accepting of each other regardless of who they are.  Ther is parental involvement.  I was apprenhenisive but after my experience this year I highly recommend it as an option.

I have wasted one year of my life at this school.
The staff in the office is rude and doesn't care about the students. They "forget" to do things and then are rude about it.
Many of the students do not care about school and a lot are not even planning to go to college.
There are many teachers that are horrible and either don't teach or have no idea what they are talking about. I would never suggest sending your child here, this school is a joke.
