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.

What I like most about Albemarle High School is the clubs and sports . What I would like to change about the school is the guidance and teacher involvement with the students . They guidance is little to no help when it comes to getting the seniors ready for college . The teachers don't teach to the class, they just assign assignments on the chrome book and you have to figure the work out on your own using the chrome book.

I taught there a few years. It was a horrible experience. Fights regularly broke out in the halls. Drugs were a problem along with an astounding teen pregnancy rate. The academic standards were incredibly low but the football scores were high.
