Allderdice High School Reviews
Rating 3.68 out of 5 280 reviews
I attended Allderdice Highschool for all 4 years. The teachers are great encouragement and the curriculum is second to none. Each child is treated with care in which you will learn academically and have fun at the same time. It's also a big school, makes it easy to connect faster and can create new relationships. Though, my worst experience with that was connecting with the wrong type of crowd. It's very important to get to know people before you build friendships with them, but besides that, The teachers are very passionate about seeing their students succeed. They are so big on sharing moments of pride they see within your child and their good behaviors/achievements and know the importance of getting the parents involved in a very respectful, approachable manner if an issue were to arise.They teach value lessons, communication and leadership skills. There are many sports and clubs that your child can get involved in as well. Overall, my experience at Allderdice Highschool was great.
The dirty dice is crazy at first sight, but once you find the right people, it turns into a well-knit community all with a joint goal towards future efforts. The teachers for the most part want what’s best for you, and the organizations are well ran and inclusive, which is a word that could very easily describe the school. A flaw of Dice is college prep, which students have to pretty much self learn and look into early, which is difficult for the vast majority of families of students.
I mean, yikes. It was a public school experience I suppose, it's diverse with a decent size of just under 2000 students in a 100-year-old building with no heat or cooling. From freshmen year they push you to do 3 useless things called long-term projects that, if you do all three by the end of your 4th year, you get a "CAS seal" on your diploma which means nothing in the eye of colleges. Seeing as most other schools don't have something of the type, universities should have no reason to care about it. Not to mention that, unless you take a gap year, they won't even see the seal because most people are done applying to colleges before the end of senior year.
