I have a senior who made honor roll this year and also honor roll for 9-12 grades. Her teachers really made it possible for her to really be something when she graduates. I have a junior son who is doing well in his classes and loves his teachers. On the other hand, I have a 9th grader in which I am having problems with teachers and grades. He is not getting the help he needs and teachers don't put the grades in a timely manner which brings down his grades. They don't have time to help him. They rather threaten writing him up or ISS or give me a call when something happens after he has repeatedly told you he doesn't understand. A certain teacher compares him to my other children there and tell THEM how he is behaving and whether or not he is passing or not. He is very frustrated and I am an involved parent. They need to work on their 9th grade teachers to help them deal better and do what it takes to help children who has learning disabilities.

i feel that majority of the teachers are failing at their job terribly. the school is more concerned with phones than drugs.

Both of my honor roll children seem to be getting a great education here. They both have been honor roll students since they began 3 years ago.

There are alot of issues that the teachers dont deal with. Behavior or grades. I have a teacher that everytime i go to ask her about my grades she blows me off completely and tells me that she isnt talking about it right now. But then again she never wants to talk about it. The teachers are not willing to help the students reach their goals or with work, grades, or anything for that matter. You have to constantly stay on the teachers about your grades because either they dont put in your make up work, or they arent putting in the grades period. Behavior in the class rooms is rediculous. Teachers let students get away with everything. They warn them so many times that they are going to write them up or send them out, but none of them ever do. This school is a joke.

My child has been attending alcovy since the school opened. I think that the school needs alot of work to do. My daughter has not had a science teacher until she was in the 11th grade.That is not needed!! They want our kids to pass the GHSGT test and they arent preparing them for it. Alcovy has dropped the ball on there students, If you want them to pass the GHSGT then get them ready for it!! Alcovy get on the ball!!!!

Ever since I arrived at alcovy high school, I have not been dissapointed......The staff is great, and I have never been with an administration who has fun with the students, as well as having control over them. Even though we may be a new school, we are living up to our expectations and exceeding them, while rising to new standards......... I am a freshman and all of my core classes are above average, and I am getting all a's. Other students are not hindering my education, and are certaintly not non working. I know people who work harder than myself, but due to thier life, cannot handle the work load of an ap or a honors class so 4 all thoz hataz out der, alcovy tigaz gna alwayz be on top, and aint gna eva stop that is basically how it is and will be

This is the first year that my son has attended Alcovy high school and this is the first year that I have not had to make numerous visited to my childs school. his behavior has changed 100%. I love the communitcatiion that the teachers provide as well as showing and proving that they care about all the students at Alcovy high School. I wonder was I ever going to have a normal school year and I had to travel many miles to get it but I hae it. Thank You Staff at Alcovy high along with students and parents. Everyone that has anything to do with Alcovy please don't forget to pat yourself on the back because I see a job well done by all. totally satisfied parent.

This is the 1st year that my daughters are attending Alcovy High School. I have been very happy with the shool and teachers. The teachers do a great job communicating and they seem to be really concerned with my children's education. My girls are also very happy with the school...they said it was not very cliquish and everyone seems to get along. I look forward to 3 more great years at Alcovy. Happy Parent
