St Paul’s believes I teaching the individual child which has been most beneficial to myself and my classmates. There has always been opportunities to participate in many clubs ranging from academics, sports, arts and student government.

Bayside Academy

• Private School
• DAPHNE, AL
• PK, K-12
• Rating 4.38 out of 5  71 reviews

Senior: Bayside is a very special place. The community cares for each other so much. It's seriously a family. Academics are challenging, but extra help is always offered. It's obvious that your teachers want to see you succeed and truly care about you. The campus is one of the best parts about the school. I am constantly reminded how blessed I am to go to school here when I walk across the bluff which overlooks Mobile Bay. There is lots of school spirit and I have made great friends. I will definitely miss Bayside and the Bayside family as I go off to college next year, but I know they have equipped me with both academic and life skills to succeed.

Fairhope High School

• Baldwin County Schools, AL
• 9-12
• Rating 4.12 out of 5  371 reviews

Junior: Fairhope High School has an excellent staff. The teachers all have a driven personality and encourage their students to do their very best. This school is also highly competitive in many different aspects such as in the art department, sports, and even academics. The school also has quite a diverse set of students and everyone has an equal opportunity to learn and succeed. I rate this school 4/5 stars because I think it has a great environment for learning but it can be quite expensive for a public school. Many classes require a payed fee to help provide more school supplies and with AP classes and other clubs and programs, money can add up quickly! However, this school still provides a great community for students to achieve their goals and it even offers tutoring as well as an amazing ACT prep class which has helped lots of students get great scores! With the wide range of classes, Fairhope High School gives every individual their own chance to learn at their own specific pace.

St. Luke's Episcopal School

• Private School
• MOBILE, AL
• PK, K-12
• Rating 4.37 out of 5  75 reviews

Works Here: I joined the St. Lukes teaching staff last year. To say that I was shocked is an understatement, but I was shocked in a great way! I was welcomed with opened arms by the faculty, students, and parents at St. Lukes. I immediately knew that I had stumbled upon something fantastic! I am still astonished at how professional the students are. By that, I mean that they are polished, dedicated learners who take on personal responsibility for their own learning. They are committed to growing themselves academically, but they are also committed to their extracurricular activities and service organizations. The students body is well-balanced. Each student is encouraged to participate in a variety of activities, including sports, theater, art, music, and leadership organizations. For this reason, St. Lukes is producing some of the most outstanding students in the State of Alabama.

• Rating 2.6 out of 5  5 reviews

Parent: My children have been attending for 2 years now. I'm very happy with the teachers and administration. I didn't rate the facilities because there's a lot of construction right now with the new cafeteria, classroom wing, car line road and playground but it will be great when it's all done.

Daphne High School

• Baldwin County Schools, AL
• 9-12
• Rating 3.81 out of 5  302 reviews

Alum: My experience at Daphne High School was a wonderful one! I was the 3rd in my family to go through the school, but I never felt like I was compared to my sisters. My teachers & administrators were wonderful at growing my unique & quirky personality into one that held several leadership roles in many organizations, clubs, & student government throughout my 4 years. The teachers were also determined to make sure that all of their students succeeded in the classroom. Whenever I was struggling with a particular subject, I only had to ask the teacher for help. They were always willing to provide additional help before or after school or during their planning period. But besides the classroom, the teachers, administrators, and especially the students, would support their classmates in extra-curricular activities of the school. I played softball and knew that I would always have a large crowd of peers and staff in the stands cheering me on. I will always proudly be a Daphne Trojan!

Bayshore Christian School

• Private School
• FAIRHOPE, AL
• PK, K-12
• Rating 4.56 out of 5  9 reviews

Senior: I like the community and the drive to build virtue and connect education to practical areas of life. There are problems that come with attending a very small school, such as lack of resources and lack of diversity, but the school works hard for its students with what it has available. The teachers are incredible and genuinely care for the students, the administration can seem out of touch at times with the student body and doesn't adjust well with change. Overall my experience has been good and I would be sad to graduate from anywhere else.

Middle School Student: I was a past student at Phillips Preparatory Middle school and this place was amazing! The teachers I had were all excellent. The food is average for school cafeteria food. It was very challenging, but fun. Overall I had an amazing experience. Sure some classmates were annoying, but you'll deal with that problem at any school.
