I think that the teachers are energetic and interested in my son's education. I appreciate the fact that both the principal and vice principal are hands on and reachable. The biggest issue that have is that there is no Drama teacher and students are being tested. There is not enough after school activities and clubs. Overall what is important to me is that my son enjoys going to school and he is really interested in learning. I like the fact that they encourage the kids to be their best. Would like to see more electives, clubs and after school activities. Over all I am pleased and so is my son.

It is a pleasure of mine to have My children at this School, The learning, Cleanliness and keep them on uniform is excellent. The commitment to excellence is there . Animo should be able to get our children on the right path to a better future. Thanks to all for being Patient with our children. Keep up the good work..

This school has gone downhill since late 2009. It used to be great, had great staff, good counseling and help in joining colleges but not anymore. ASLA used to consist of top of the line teachers that graduated from the most prestigious schools and 80% of them either left the school, got fired or transferred causing a decrease in learning retention. Since then (~2010-2011) those teachers have been replaced with newer "hip" teachers ranging from 21-30 year olds with the exception of a few older teachers that have earned seniority which all have great teaching skills with the exception of one (as of the 2011-12 year) the school offers college classes and SAT preparation classes along with a few afterschool extracurricular activites hoated by a group called "Champions" (none of these contribute to the students grade or academic profile) some of the programs offered are drivers ed, dancing, boxing, skating, video game club and photography. The quality of the food/lunch served is horrific and is served under a tent. this school has no dining facilities and is all open air as far as dining/play usage. 2 tents help as housing but it presents bad conditions.

This is a pretty good school when it is compared to the neighboring schools, but of course it does have it's faults. The full amount of class time is not used as efficiently as it could by several of the teachers, even though many students are willing to learn. Just like in any other school, there will always be those kids who are never able to focus, but the majority of the teachers are very dedicated and they love teaching. The counselors are always there to guide students and to provide them with opportunities to gain college credit and with AP classes. This is a great school where any student can start a club or join a team. Compared to other schools in the area, ASLA is indeed one of the best.

Overall Animo is a great alternative to many other surrounding public schools such as Washington Prep. The only thing I would improve within the school is that we have smaller class sizes so that we can have a more hands on learning experience
