Senior: I’m a current senior at the Alabama School of Math and Science, and I love it here! I love the higher-level STEM classes ASMS offers, such as Quantum and Relativity, Multivariable Calculus, Organic Chemistry, etc. Not many other schools offer these advanced classes, and it’s a great way to delve deeper into a subject you are interested in. ASMS has many other amazing opportunities like their Research Fellows Program. You get to work with a teacher on any topic you want to make a contribution to. It could be “Computational Studies of Mammoth Nuclear Genomes” or the “Evolutionary Prediction of South America’s Plant Diversity.” ASMS also has promotes leadership in our community through their Jo Bonner Leadership Academy. Juniors and Seniors learn how to develop their leadership skills and positively impact the community. They may also earn leadership positions, such as Ambassadors, SGA Officers, Peer Advisors, and more! Ultimately, you have the freedom to make your own path at ASMS.... Read 58 reviews

Senior: St Paul’s Episcopal School is a Christian institute I have attended my entire school career. We stand on the foundation of honesty integrity and respect. 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. I love how every individual part makes the whole identity of St Paul’s being an inclusive school that embraces all walks of life. I’ve been taught that since I started in Kindergarten. I will forever be grateful for the lessons I have learned in and out of the classroom! Go Saints!... Read 86 reviews

Sophomore: I am currently a sophomore at UMS-Wright Preparatory School. I’ve had a pretty good experience here as far as education goes, and I feel very prepared for college. Most of the teachers are very helpful and want to see you succeed. If you are considering sending your child here, it would be helpful if your child already has a friend that goes here, so they can have an easier transition into the school environment. Overall though, it’s a good school!!... Read 75 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.... Read 400 reviews

Junior: Currently a student attending Bayside, and in a brief summary, while occasionally as a student it’s hard to break into other cliques of the students who have known each other since PK, the classes are productive and fun, the teachers good and willing to help, and the campus lovely and well kept. Overall, a awesome school... Read 74 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....

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!... Read 319 reviews

Senior: I have enjoyed McGill-Toolen because of the passion of the staff and the strong sense of community. The teachers and administrators are always making an effort to enhance the experience of the students. They work hard to provide a meaningful academic experience while also focusing on providing exciting opportunities outside of academics. The McGill-Toolen experience is most unique because students are immersed in their Catholic faith. Many of the teachers are shining examples of the faith and thus increase the value of our Catholic education. The McGill-Toolen community is one that is unified by faith and traditions. Everyone at McGill is familiar with the chaos and enjoyment that stems from our high energy pep rallies. Students are also unified every month when we come together to celebrate mass. Once again, we come together during our yearly award ceremonies to recognize the countless academic achievements of the students. McGill is an incredible school, and I’m proud to attend it....

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.... Read 80 reviews

Senior: Spanish Fort High School is one of the most fastest growing schools in Baldwin County, Alabama. The teachers are great, administration strives daily to make our school one of the best in the state. Our football, volleyball and baseball programs have won several state championships. Our campus and facilities are top-notch. My experience in the Spanish Fort school system has been a memorable one indeed! I hope to get my teaching degree and be apart of the Spanish Fort school system.... Read 234 reviews

Senior: As someone who has been homeschooled and attended online schools throughout my student career, changing to a brick-and-mortar school seemed intimidating at first. However, Bayshore Christian School welcomed me as if I had been a part of the school since kindergarten. Bayshore encompasses the love of Christ, accepting and kind toward everyone who enters the school doors. The classical style of learning Bayshore offers is incredibly helpful when it comes to personal growth and educational excellence. Overall, I would highly recommend Bayshore to anyone who is looking for a place to learn, but also a place to call home.... Read 13 reviews

Junior: Saraland High School, located in South Alabama, is widely known for being a public-private school. The facilities and buildings are so well kept and, from the outside, it is described as looking like "an expensive private school"(via my out-of-town friend). However, this school is run by the city's tax money, highly educated and trained teachers/administrators, and is filled with optimistic kids focusing on their future. I am thankful to have spent 3 years with my senior year coming up. The education is unmatched and any (which there are not many) issues get resolved immediately and effectively. I am thankful to be in a school system where the teachers and administration consider the students' inputs on various topics. It is such a privilege to go to Saraland High School....

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.... Read 14 reviews
