We have an excellent arts program, and after school extra curricular activities. You can take voice and piano lessons during and after school. We have 2 plays a year at UMS. The teachers here care about the student and do everything in their power to help us. UMS is an amazing school.

Bayside Academy

• Private School
• Daphne, AL
• PK, K-12
• 70 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
• 326 reviews

Senior: This is a great school. Neither too large or too small. There are some amazing teachers and some that are not so great. Maybe better pay for teachers could attract more amazing teachers. Administrative staff is excellent and very caring for their students. The school practices safety drills including intrusions. There is almost something for everyone with theater, athletics and clubs. There could be more math and science activities and a show choir to make it a more competitive and well rounded school. Standard, AP and IB or higher level of classes are offered at Fairhope. Diversity among students is lacking with it being a predominantly all white school. Bullying is not a big problem. All in all, Fairhope offers a safe, friendly and challenging landscape for continuing education.

McGill-Toolen Catholic High School

• Private School
• Mobile, AL
• 9-12
• 259 reviews

Parent: McGill is a Catholic school in Mobile, Alabama. It has a strong academics and sports program. The majority of the teachers want the students to succeed and thrive. They will offer extra help before or after school. I feel the classes are preparing my daughter for her college years. The Honors classes are challenging.
As far as extra curricular activities are concerned, there is something for everyone! The children are required to volunteer in the community.
I especially love the fact that it is a religious school that not only has religion classes, but offers Mass, too.
I would like to see Mcgill offer a wider variety of Science classes and electives!

St. Luke's Episcopal School

• Private School
• Mobile, AL
• PK, K-12
• 36 reviews

Junior: Great!!! My experience with St. Luke's has been amazing because of the great academic and athletic programs. In the classroom, my teachers have challenged me and forced me to think at a higher level. St. Luke's strives to prepare its students for both college and life. Also, not only have my coaches produced classy, successful teams, but they have developed me into a better player and person. Since I first came to St. Luke's in kindergarten, the school has made a strong effort to make both campuses beautiful. The landscaping of both campuses has been redesigned to add to the school's charm, and the athletic facilities are now excellent as well. Overall, my experience at St. Luke's has been a good one, and I would highly recommend this school for anyone who wants to be prepared for life as a capable member of society.

Saraland High School

• Saraland City Schools, AL
• 9-12
• 123 reviews

Senior: My experience at Saraland High School has been astonishing. The administrators' main focus is on the students and making sure that they have the access to resources for their education. Teachers make themselves available after school for students who need help to better understand a lesson. Teachers also make sure that every student understands the lesson before moving on to the next. The janitorial staff keeps the school neat and tidy. The staff in the cafeteria provide delicious lunches for students and are very nice to talk to. Overall, the environment at Saraland High School is welcoming, friendly, safe, and helpful. One thing I would like to see change is the entrance and exit to the school from the road. In the afternoons, the traffic gets backed up and it makes it very hard for students and administrators to leave on time. I think a second entrance and exit would help tremendously.

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.
