Junior: As a rising junior at the Alabama School of Math and Science, I can confidently say that being a student here at ASMS was one of the best opportunities that was presented to me. This school offers many different classes to fit each student’s interests, and yes this includes humanities as well! There are many classes at ASMS that would not be available at another Highschool, such as Zoology, Graphic Design & Photography, Mythology, App Development, and much more. As far as clubs go, there are many available to join! ASMS gives students the opportunity to have their own voice, and this is one of the many things that I love. Students are able to feel heard, and it’s evident that staff members truly want the best for us. Teachers offer office hours to assist us with our studies, and there are student-run study labs to ensure we get help from our peers on subjects we may not understand. ASMS truly offers great opportunities for their students, and the environment is very welcoming!... Read 89 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

Senior: UMS is a great school with excellent academics and college preparation. It is more fun to go to a school that combines K-12, because the whole school gets involved and excited and invested in sports and activities from a young age. It is a great community where everyone is all-in. The teachers and courses really prepare you for college. Most of the teachers are really good and help you truly learn the material. We get great lunch options and independent periods.... Read 78 reviews

Senior: As a young kid I moved around from school to school every year until I began going to Fairhope schools in the 5th grade and have not moved around since. I have made it to the 12th grade in Fairhope High School and will be graduating here. Of all the schools I have been to, my interaction with teachers and my involvement in school activities have been unlike any other experience at any other school. At Fairhope High School you can expect to find friendly and supportive teachers, counselors who prepare you for the future, fun and inclusive activities and clubs, and an outstanding administration. Overall Fairhope High School prepares and provides students with the resources to be successful after High School. Go Pirates!... Read 420 reviews

Senior: I enjoy being at Bayside Academy. It is a small private school so it makes everyone feel like family. I have been attending Bayside Academy since Pre-K and both of my older brothers attended Bayside. Throughout the years I have been in and out of the private schooling system. In Kindergarten my father was unemployed so we lived in Foley, AL for a year. I attended a Catholic school called St. Benedict. In 8th grade, I was very serious about my ballet career and did online, virtual school through our public school system. I did this program 8th and 9th grade and found myself longing to be back in Bayside. I missed my friends, the environment, the structure of the school, and being taught by teachers, rather than teaching myself. Just like any school, Bayside has issues with its administration but they are in the process of repairment. The math department needs a lot of work as well. I am past ready to graduate but I am thankful for my time at Bayside Academy.... Read 76 reviews

Senior: McGill will forever hold a special place in my heart. I transferred to McGill sophomore year, and it was a brand new environment for me! I have been offered so much more structure, along with any help I have needed or wanted, and opportunities to be involved in school extracurriculars! McGill has pushed me to be the best student I can be, along with giving me the blessing of new friends, a foundational faith, and classes that push me to excel. After I transferred to McGill, I enjoy coming to school and being in the Yellow Jacket environment. Now that it is my senior year, I realize how fast the time went by. College is a brand new and exciting step for me, but McGill has prepared me for whatever comes next. I would highly recommend McGill to anyone who asks, and wish the best for my friends, teachers, and future Yellow Jackets!... Read 301 reviews

Alum: Attending Saraland High School, was the best decision ever. All of the faculty and staff are intentional with the curriculum that is taught. Everyone contributes to the school system being the best for students to achieve their goals. Whether going to university, trade school, or the work force, SHS ensured students were ready to become adults in the real world. Everyone at the high school has equal opportunity to succeed and flourish. Also, students are constantly rewarded and noticed for their achievements, both with academics and extracurricular activities. The school was constantly being renovated and the campus is beautiful. There isn’t anything I have to complain about regarding Saraland High School!... Read 161 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.... Read 85 reviews

Parent: I have 3 Children that attend Rockwell. I could not be more pleased with the staff and leadership at Rockwell. The school has an amazing gifted program and has a curriculum that includes art. My children are thriving there. They have gone above and beyond to protect our children during Covid and are prepared in case the school has to close. The absolute best school!!... Read 2 reviews

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....

Senior: Some of my best experiences at Daphne High School happened in my film class. This class allowed students to take creative control of films we wrote, directed, filmed, and edited. This class taught me a lot about collaboration and trial and error. Some of my negative experiences came from my chemistry class in my junior year. Although the teacher was great, the class was quite large and I sometimes found it hard to speak up over the 30 other voices in the class when I was confused. Overall, I would love to see Daphne High School do more student-led or hands-on electives.... Read 338 reviews
