Alameda High offers many AP classes and hosts the tests of even more. The teachers are all very nice people, and most are good teachers too. The school has many clubs ranging from volunteer work, sports, and to cultures. There is only one college and career counselor though.

I feel like I had a pretty average high school experience. I wasn't really on any teams, and I was in only one club because all of my friends were there. Otherwise it was pretty fine.

Some good teachers and some truly horrible ones, which I would assume is a pretty average high school experience. However the school culture is so sub-par, the majority of people do drugs, drink, or trespass all while having entitled personalities, the school doesn't do much in terms of this besides banning people temporally from going to the parking structure near the school, as that is usually where students would fool auround.
