Campus and families are very welcoming. There has been a lot of administrative and teacher turnover recently, and class sizes in the lower school are getting large for a private school. Teaching quality and teacher warmth is inconsistent from year to year, and this school has more non-Jewish teachers/administrators than any other day school I am familiar with (we're originally from NYC). If you are a transplant from the East Coast and are expecting the quality of day school that you get in NYC, Boston, or Baltimore, you will be disappointed. Their heavily promoted Maalot program for students with learning differences is well-intentioned, but poorly executed. Kids are accepted at the school, and then counseled out a few years later without any empathy for the impact that this has on the learner or their family.

Do not send your child to this school unless they are religiously observant and have ZERO interests outside of academics. The ONLY thing this school had outside of academics were decent sports including a GREAT basketball team. This team was a huge source of pride for the school and a fun way for the kids there to have a somewhat normal HS experience. They are taking focus/funding away from that to focus more on academics. Academics there are fine. What they don't have is opportunities for kids to be well rounded human beings. ZERO in the way of arts, ZERO extra curriculars, no music, no theatre, etc. and now they don't even have good sports. What an ABSOLUTE SHAME that a few well funded donors get to dictate how this school operates. The are the minority. And because it's pretty much the only Jewish HS in town, families are STUCK sending their kids there. I know Jewish kids do not fee safe in many school environments in today's world. But AYA is not the place if you want your kids to be well rounded human beings with interests outside of academics and davening. Send them to Parish or Greenhill instead. Plenty of Jewish kids at both of those schools and they can do all the wonderful things High School kids should be doing.
