Alcott is an awesome school! The principals are easy to work with and take the time to listen to parents. My child had a great experience last year. Teachers knew him and worked together to make sure that he didn't fall through the cracks. It is the best middle school in Norman! Simply Exceptional!

Alcott is a great school! My kids are transfer students from Irving and I could not be any happier with the environment. Alcott's principal, Mr. Smith, is an amazing guy. The atmosphere is super friendly. The adults really care about the students personally as well as academically. Alcott is exceptional.
