Albany High School Reviews

Albany High has a toxic culture that values academics more than mental and physical health, and image over morals. There's been moments where teachers have either downplayed or ignored my mental health issues. The hallways and stairwells are so crowded during passing period, and class sizes and budget cuts are a normal yearly occurrence here. If it weren't for the handful of decent classmates and teachers I had, I would've dropped out due to a lack of attendance, quite honestly.
As for their narcissism, they claim to be "eco-conscious" and "tolerant", but they don't sort their waste (even though they have separate bins) and there have been several moments of teachers displaying racism. They provide cheap, single-use forks, plastic-wrapped junk food, and other cheap give-aways that barely anyone wants.

I was freshman when I got in Albany High school. I have very good communication with teachers and my friends. The most important thing about Albany High school is that teacher and Albany students are very helpful, when I first came in Albany High school I didn't find my classes but other students helps to find it. I really appreciate and grateful for Albany High school. I can proudly say that I 'm a senior in Albany High school. Thing that I like in Albany High school Is that teachers are very friendly and helpful. I really like clubs and sports from Albany High school.
The campus is extremely small, and the hallways become crowded very quickly in between classes. The students are extremely diverse, and the school has great staff members that help you try and succeed in your studies. I was only able to spend one year there, but I can say that it was time well spent. It's located in a decent neighborhood, close to public transportation. The food and sports are mediocre, but the arts programs and clubs are amazing and fun.
