Animas High School Reviews
Rating 4.13 out of 5 62 reviews
Animas teachers are amazing! They care deeply about students and create innovative projects that help connect learning to real world questions, problems and solutions. The new building, on the Fort Lewis College campus, is beautiful and inspiring.
I loved Animas! The teachers are the best and truly care about what they are doing and take the time to do it well. I love project-based learning, you as a student have the freedom to choose what you want to do and push yourself as hard as you want! The college prep is absolutely amazing, Animas walks you through all you need to be successful at college! This is a school that actually cares about you- not just your academics but you as a whole person.
Animas High School is a fun, outside-the-box school. My personal experience was great, since I was able to focus on subjects that intrigued me. I believe every student can personalize their high school experience here. I would give it 5 stars, however, I did feel that this school is very idealistic in it's humanities classes. These classes focused on morality and socialization more than history and english, which in my opinion makes it difficult for students to form their own opinions and to a lesser extent makes standardized testing a challenge.
The science and math classes at Animas High School were by far the most compelling. We were able to apply the knowledge we learned in class to real life situations. Using our base knowledge that was taught to us to create things, problem solve, and expand on what we already knew, made these classes my favorite by far. The science program alone at Animas High School is why I am giving this school 4 stars.
