  1. Mountain Brook City Schools

    • School District
    • Mountain Brook, AL
    • 9
    1 Districts with the Best Teachers in Alabama

    Senior: Mountain Brook is great because it offers a wide variety of classes. There are so many fine arts, sports, and business related activities and classes that it is impossible to find a student that doesn't fit in somewhere. Mountain Brook does a wonderful job of providing challenging classes with helpful and supportive teachers. Some of the teachers I have had in the Mountain Brook School System have shaped me as the person that I am today, and I am eternally grateful for that. Another great thing about Mountain Brook is the amount of clubs. There are a lot of clubs that help students to express themselves and make friends. There are very few things I can criticize about Mountain Brook. I think the one negative thing is the lack of diversity. We are a predominantly white school, and, even though the diversity has grown over the past few years, I still do not think we are diverse enough.

  2. Homewood City Schools

    • School District
    • Homewood, AL
    • 23
    2 Districts with the Best Teachers in Alabama

    Senior: Homewood is a great environment for those who enjoy to be surrounded by a heavily involved community. School academics are the highest priority here, while activities like band, sports, and charity funding events are always large, successful programs. Since we are a small area, many have voted for the schools to be enhanced in size, and eco-friendliness. (And in a very short time since then, they have-- and are currently renovating all schools since 2009.) If you want a kind, safe, rural community with local produce, events, and specialty locations for students, and Homewood people, this is the place for you.

    Parent: Our son is currently in the 2nd grade. He has been at the school for two years, and it has been a wonderful experience. The enthusiasm of the teachers, who are truly experts in the subjects they teach, is infectious. They consistently set high standards for all students at every stage of their academic career. This is a school that prioritizes academics and the students themselves; it is targeted to students with intellectual curiosity and a strong work ethic. We are very happy here!

    • 12
    5 Districts with the Best Teachers in Alabama

    Senior: I have gone to Cullman ever since I started at the Cullman City Primary School when I was 5. I have honestly loved every minute of it. Granted, when I got to high school, there were some bumps along the way, but don't all high school students have some? Regardless of the struggles I have faced, the friends that I have grown up with and the amazing teachers that have helped me along the way have easily made up for those minor bumps. I love Cullman and always will. Go Bearcats!

    • 31
    6 Districts with the Best Teachers in Alabama

    Alum: My experience with Hoover High School could not too no other. All of my teachers were kind and caring and always made sure each student was prepared. No only we're the teachers and environment was great but to top it off the sports team. Cheering on the bucs was one of my greatest memories in high school. Having such outstanding athletes and coaches made our school stand out from any other. Hoover was my second home and I would not in a million years wanted to go to a different school. Also, Hoover was so complex and knew how to keep everyone safe. We would practice fire drills, tornado drills and code red drills to make us prepared and more sufficient if the event really occurred. None the less I would like to thank our principal Mr. Hulin for being the best principal ever. Not only did he make me cry at graduation but made me feel happy that I had such a wonderful time at Hoover high school. Go bucs!

    • School District
    • Muscle Shoals, AL
    • 9
    7 Districts with the Best Teachers in Alabama

    Senior: I was not always in a school system like Muscle Shoals City Schools. I was in a place where I wasn't getting the help I needed; however, once I moved to the school, I was met with a sense of hospitality and desire for progress. In the first month of my journey, I had experienced an amazing change in my personality and desire for higher education. Deeper into my journey, I was met with a huge black hole, but the hospitality that I had been met with was shown until I got back on my feet. One thing I would change is more attention to the arts and not just painting. We have the most amazing art programs, but most people don't pay attention to them, because information for is not shared enough.

  12. Vestavia Hills City Schools

    • School District
    • Birmingham, AL
    • 22
    9 Districts with the Best Teachers in Alabama

    Junior: Vestavia Hills managed to exceed my expectations because of its vast opportunities. They have numerous organizations to help the community and to also give students the opportunity to act more freely upon their passion, like Amnesty Club, Science Olympiad, Speech and Debate, etc. Both academic teams and athletic teams are greatly acknowledged throughout the students and faculties in the school, so there is diverse support for every team. The school also faithfully maintains a clean and safe environment to help provide the students with the best classroom environment. One of the best attributes of VHHS is the teachers. Generally, teachers care for their students and their education, and they are active in developing relationships with them to help their understanding of their students' conditions. VHHS is a unique school where I can learn something new everyday, and I can see academic and personal growth in myself through the years I have been here.

    Senior: I like that Phillips High School in Marion County is a small school. I like the closeness of the students, staff, and community. Everyone supports each other. I would like to see more activities, and classes offered. I realize we are a small school and it is hard to offer a wide variety of things but it would be nice to have more choices in our education.

    • School District
    • Oxford, AL
    • 30
    11 Districts with the Best Teachers in Alabama

    Alum: I am an Oxford graduate from the class of 2018. I’ve enjoyed my time being a part of this school system. I’ve met some of the best teachers who have became mentors for me for the future. Oxford city schools also provides various possibilities for college readiness with their career technical classes and numerous AP and DE course selections. Their clubs and sports are also very successful and they give recognition to those involved. Every school has its “ups and downs” but Oxford stays up most of the time. If I could give them pointers on anything, it would be for more parent involvement (maybe an open house for parents to see who the students teachers are and how all classes work throughout a school day) also giving more informative announcements.

    • Piedmont, AL

    12 Districts with the Best Teachers in Alabama

    Senior: Piedmont High School is overall a good school in my opinion, they have wonderful teachers that care for you and want to see you achieve your goals, and that helps you a lot. We do most of our work on MacBooks, I wish it were different but they use computers in college also, so I guess they've prepared us for that since 4th grade. We also use pencil and paper to take notes, etc. Piedmont High School has taught me a lot and helped me a lot from 9th-10th grade. If I could change anything about this school I would change how much time we spend on the computers, and more time in the books, but honestly I can't complain about PHS.

    Alum: What i liked about Hartselle city schools is that they challenged me academically and physically to be the best person I could be. All the teachers wanted every student to succeed and did everything they could to make it happen. Coaches also taught young athletes to be the best they could be at whatever they did. There was nothing that Hartselle city schools didn't do, because they all wanted the student to be ready to go to college and make them feel comfortable whenever the students where in there.

    14 Districts with the Best Teachers in Alabama

    Senior: Winfield City High School is an awesome place! The teachers care about their students and support any academic adventures we want to pursue. I have been encouraged to set my goals high and been given the tools to make these goals obtainable. I will miss WCHS greatly when I graduate. If I could change one thing about WCHS would be that some students are allowed to do things and given things based on who their parents are and if they work with the school systems. I do not feel that all things are given out with a non-biased decision. Although my time here has been great, I do feel I was not allowed to do things or given the opportunity to do more things because my parents do not brown nose the administration and teachers.

    Niche User: My daughter and son both went to Pelham Schools from Kindergarten through 12th grade. Both of my kids have made the Deans list in college due to Pelham teachers and classes fully preparing them. My daughter will graduate cum laude from The University of Alabama in 2018! This shows that Pelham Schools will do their job to educate! It is up to your child and you as a parent to get involved. Pelham has “ Peer Helpers” to help your High School student with tutoring. Pelham Schools will help your child excell also in music, arts and sports to help your child be a well rounded student in society. I personally know many college students who have excelled on the college level playing sports, participating in their University Band and also excelling academically!

    Senior: Overall, my 12 years in Arab City Schools were amazing. I was taught many lessons that are bound to be learned in high school, but more than that, I finally realized what type of person I would like to be. The teachers and administrators have constantly encouraged me and my classmates to be the best we can possibly be. I was never talked down to or treated lower than my teachers. They respect me and my fellow students. This is definitely one of the most important things that I’ve learned and been able to experience throughout my educational career at Arab. The only thing I would change is the appearance of my school, which definitely not an important aspect of someone’s education. However, it does have a great deal of history behind it and that should never be erased.

I have found that the teachers and staff will do anything in their power to help any student find success. It has been my experience that the academic advisers are vested in assuring that each individual have a goal and they are actively assisting each student in obtaining that goal. The school systems has taken much pride in establishing building and resources for the schools to ensure the schools are safe, clean and up to date with technology. It has been a great journey to be a part of such a great system.

I was scared initially, because elementary and middle school weren't kind to me, but the teachers and students really grew on me and helped me grow as well. Their sports programs did really well in the 2016-2017 school year. The principal was great and was harsh when needed, but he would also be your friend. Overall, the school changed me and helped me become who I am today.

The system just added a K-1 Center and the commitment to the students and parents is amazing! 3 out of 4 schools are brand new, the 4th school is completely renovated. The superintendent is visible at events and in the schools and as far as the elementary & early ed schools, the principals Mr. Stokely & Mrs. Williams are so committed to the safety and education of the students. I would rank the lower schools #1 & A+. Can't speak on the upper schools because we're not there yet.

We use technology a lot that way if you have a job, and want to work with technology you will know how to use it. I have enjoyed Thomasville for the years I have been there.

    Freshman: I like Monroe County High School. It's because the faculty and staff are very caring. The teachers’ biggest concern is to for students to have a healthy balance between my school work and school activities. They want to make sure the lessons are interesting and really make their students want to work hard. I am currently on the advanced diploma track. I am involved in many clubs and activities. I volunteer with the following organizations: Teacher Institute Day for Alabama Education Association, Monroeville Middle School fall festival, Children’s Hospital, Relay for Life, serve food for Monroe County Feeding 300, and Alabama Democrat Conference registering voters. I have dance and gymnastic class. Monroe County High School principal, faculty and staff helps students to balance their academics, student activities, and volunteer work. They work together to help develop the whole student. This speaks volumes about my school. This is why I love the school that I attend so much.

    • PK, K-12
    • 95

    Alum: Graduated from HA in the early 2000’s. The tuition is expensive, more than most public in-state colleges, but it’s worth the education received. The main downsides are the uniforms (now) and the attitude of the students towards students who enroll later in their academic career. To the uniforms, this idea was started by a group of parents whose kids were in preschool. We didn’t have issues with dress when I was there and the clothes and embroidering have to be purchased through one store that is owned by a parent of the school. It isn’t about helping curb issues among the kids who can’t afford the latest fashion, it is a money racket started by a wealthy family. The other issue is something the parents need to cull at home.

    Parent: Norfolk Academy provided an extraordinary educational journey for my two children, fueling their curiosity and inspiring them to explore new avenues that they might not have discovered without the incredible teachers and coaches at this school. My oldest child, who came in sixth grade, now studies engineering at an Ivy League university; he particularly loved the robotics team, as well as soccer, swimming, and crew teams. My youngest child, who is a senior at NA, came in first grade, and she has developed a passion for medicine and health, largely through the school's Global Health Fellows program and the Medical Scholars program.
