GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

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.

My experience at Alameda High School is pretty okay. There's nothing really special to comment on. Food is pretty bad, and there's a few staff members/classes that students aren't big fans of. But, it's not a school that I dread to go to, it's not a school that I'm scared to go to every day. It's a decent school.

Coming to this school was the worst decision I have ever made. Don't come here unless you want to deal with unfair sports, completely rude administration and staff, and unfair accusations made against students with rules that aren't respecting of everyone and their situations.
