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.

Overall the sense of community is nice to see as it is an extremely small school, however the academic side of things lacks from my experience. This is unfortunate for those who wish to further their education, who will likely be behind in their courses due to the lack of college readiness implemented in the curriculum.

I went to alba school back in 2021, nothing good came out of it. My little brother was beat up by several girls with a hair brush because they didn't like what he had to say. He came home crying with bruises on several different occasions. That school is full of pure pressurement and neglect. I would not suggest this school to anyone. All these good reviews were made my staff for good looks on the school.
