I moved from Duncanville to Alvarado at the end of my freshman year, and I graduated from Alvarado High School in 2002. I had some good teachers, but I believe the course offerings were very limited and the focus seemed to be more on athletics than academics. I also feel that Alvarado High School didn't prepare me very well for college. If you want your child to get a good education, don't pick Alvarado.

I moved to AISD from the northeast 6 years ago. My children were doing very well in their old school and I believe that the quality of education a child got depended a lot on the effort put forth from the child and parents. Not so in Alvarado. I have since graduated 2 children and one went on to be accepted in Texas A & M. This was a child who did well in high school despite not doing any projects or homework. She has since dropped out of college because she lacked the necessary skills to succeed. Reluctantly, I am deciding to send my current high schooler to live out of state to gain a better education. My eighth grader has begged me not to send him to the high school, he wants to go where 'the kids are smarter'. I refuse to lose another child to this school system.

I've been in Alvarado schools since I was in kindergarten. I've always loved my teachers, and I've never had any problems with the discipline. I'm a junior in high school right now, and this has been my best year by far. I love my classes and my teachers. I'm sad that next year will be my last year. I don't think I could've gotten a better experience from any other school. If any of my teachers read this, I just wanted to say thank you for everything!
