Albright Middle School

Overall the Alief school district is not that impressive-at least Petrosky Elementary and Albright Middle School. Both principles have not taken certain issues with teachers very seriously. If you're lucky your child will get at least 1 good teacher each year at Albright to help make up for the other ones.

This school has wonderful academic programs. It's good in extracurricular actvcities. And parent involvement is awesome.

This school is a mixed bag. Some teachers are excellent professionals, interested in quality interaction with parents and able to intuit and address individual student needs; some are so caught up in their own ego that they don't care about individual children or about parental concerns. Music and art programs are excellent, but administrators don't show up to concerts and are more supportive of sports. Last couple of principals have been ineffective; current one is so new he seems like a deer trapped in the headlights most of the time.

The school appears to have lost the basis for a strong academic foundation. Except for the chosen few, many average or below average students are not encouraged to excel past their current academic level. There are not enough programs that enhance the academia experience. The school should have alliances within and outside of the community to help build more positive reinforcements within the school and and rebuild the self esteem of these young students. There should be other internal organizations within the school, besides sports and band that promote a more positive self image without the student feeling pressured to compete for these programs. Often the school readily enforces thier dress code policy and is lax regarding informing parents regarding problems in education.

I'm very dissappointed in this school. It seems to me that if a childs education is inhibited because of monetary reasons, we've failed our students as educators and our children as parents. When my family has needed any assistance Albright Middle School, its staff, principal and counselors are more impressed with politics within themselves than to reach out to a child that has needed it. I cannot express enough how important it was to my child both educationally and emotionally to leave this school.

I like Albright and am pleased with the teachers in the AP classes. I can not comment on the regular classes. I love the principal. He is a strong leader and a motivational speaker.
