4.0 Junior

7/4/2025

Albany High School is overall a very good high school. It feels well organized and I've had many positive experiences with my teachers and counselors. I do think it needs some renovations, though.

1.0 Junior

6/26/2025

DRUGS ARE OPENLY SOLD ON CAMPUS. Every bathroom is a smoke room always at least 4 kids per bathroom lighting up vapes or carts (weed vapes). Absolutely insane administration that doesn't care about the drug use. I LITERALLY WATCHED A STUDENT SNORT COCAINE HE BOUGHT FROM SOMEONE THAT SAME DAY ON CAMPUS IN FRONT OF A STAFFER WHO DID NOTHING. Parents please do not send your kids here, the admin will do nothing to fix any of these issues unless a message is sent that their behavior is unacceptable.

The experience in this school has been amazing; even while classes may be challenging, some amazing teachers are ready to help students. I don't have any preferred changes at the current moment.

Albany High School is a mixed bag. I love that AHS is part of a tight-knit community where most families know one another and value student success. With so many high achieving students, academic opportunities, such as AP classes and special programs, are limited and there is fierce competition. Mid...
