Being apart of Albany City School District since I was in kindergarten and living in Albany my whole entire life, I’ve gained tremendous experience with this school district. Starting young you get more than enough support for your academics and extracurricular activities. Coming into middle school the teachers really try their best to prepare you for high school but still try to keep in mind you are only in middle school. They don’t enforce too much pressure on you but just enough to get your mind prepared for the next chapter in your life. Coming into Albany High School was a hard transition for me personally because I came from a really small middle school with the people that I knew for years to a school with more than 2,600 students. Big classes are just a norm in ACSD, especially in high school since Albany High is the only public school in Albany. One thing I love about ACSD is the diversity. It’s a no place for hate environment. One thing I would change is the food.
I'm still growing up in the city of Albany, NY. These ACSD has a very diverse student body as a whole. As a student, I feel like I've been prepared well by my hardworking teachers to perform well on exams. I've been motivated by my family, peers, and fellow staff members at Albany High School to strive for the best. Although it's a public school, people seem to refuse to credit Albany for its achievements. For instance, there are many successful student-athletes that are also my friends. There's a variety of clubs that students may wish to join, suiting to their needs and interests. However, everything has a downside to it. Since it is a public building, the facilities aren't the cleanest places. The bathrooms aren't appealing, the classrooms tend to be disorganized, and the hallways aren't big enough for students to get to class when non-motivated students block the way of others. Overall, the Albany City School District has proven to be an interesting experience for me.
There are many teachers who really care about the kids. They need more resources available to kids for academic technology equipment, more funds for experiential field trips, better funding for female athletes and a realistic budget for the arts and marching arts programs.
