Abilene High School

Posted August 4, 2009

Ditto to previous comments. teachers and administration are heavily union influenced and tech to the numbers they can attain under federal grant seeking. If your child is an easy keeper and fits their concept of what they think they ought to be, they should be okay. But, if your child poses any challenges whatsoever, i.e., family issues, medical problems, social challenges, they'll likely be rerouted to another setting, such as the virual school, by being discharged from the High School. Childrten that are less than ideal are considered disposable by this school's administration. Counserlors are great, teachers are hit and miss, as most are arrogant and either unwilling or unable to step up, take a child with challneges under their wing, and turn them into a model student. If you live in this area, you seriously need to consider one of the other nearby school districts.

I grew up in this town and graduated from AHS. My children now attend the Abilene schools. Overall our family is not happy with the schools but there are a few great teachers and principals who are priceless. Abilene is based on one thing. What family do you come from. Who were your mom and dad, grandparents, aunts and uncles, and siblings. New students will feel welcome if they excel at sports or have parents with the right standing in society.

Good academics. School is run like a jr. college which can be bad for parent involvement. Socially good if you've lived here all your life. New kids have a rough time and are not easily accepted by their peers. Counseling staff is excellent. Football is important.
