Horrible kids but amazing teammates on team. Not prepared for college at all. I tutored at Berkeley High School and they had way better college prep programs.

They lack communication and many problems go unsolved. The school is beautiful but the children are a hindrance to the peaceful atmosphere. There are many wonderful opportunities and wonderful programs. The environment is quite unsafe and hostile.

Got me to where I needed to go in life. Not a perfect school, but a very great public school and I am lucky to have had the privilege to go here.

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...
