I love Albany High and I thank it's a great school despite of public keeping their eyes target on the negative situations regarding the school. My granddaughter is a junior and a good student who has been confronted by some rude students who tease and taunt her for last two years. I was very involved with the school about the situation and was not pleased on how they handled it. I hope with the new principal will find a better system to handle that the bullying, teasing and taunting of students who are trying to do the right thing to better themselves for a higher education. The positive regarding my granddaughter is that the teachers has been terrific in seeing that my granddaughter receive anything that she needs to obtain the best education that she can obtain according to her abilities.
Albany High gets so much bad press, but truly is excellent school. So much for children to learn and excel with to achieve great career building skills. Great staff and kids!
Albany High can be a great school academically, depending upon how involved you are willing to be in your child's education. If your student is a below average performer, it is easy to slip through the cracks unless he/she has strong parent or guardian advocacy at home. If a student's family places importance, value and the need to work hard on education and backs that up with active support, such as lining up tutors, if necessary, then Albany High will serve them well. Albany High has world class programs for the serious student and sports/activities to involve just about every type of student. It is culturally and racially diverse and not clique'y.' It has a lot to offer if a student is willing to get involved. But the student has to take the initiative. No one is going to seek them out or hold them by the hand.
albany is a good school..if you send your child then they have to have to be able not to follow the crowd and know that they dont have to be like everyone else..but thats any school..the classes and teachers are all good there and they offer claases and programs that other schools dont have.
