Some good experiences at Albert Lea high school is the school spirit. Having great assembly's and adding more and more activities students can enroll in. Some bad experiences would be the miss behavior of some students. People skipping classes to go mess around and the fights that happen at the school.

It's okay. Teachers are great. I don't feel like there are enough resources for them to properly allow for students to be in classes that are more difficult. There are few AP classes, to the point where you won't be able to get specific ones that you may want to take.

The education is very mediocre. Nothing at ALHS prepares you for college. If you need direct help from your teachers, you are better off going to a different school.

This school was so bad; I had to transfer. When I went to my new school, I found out many parents think the same thing and open enrolled their kids, either right away or after having their kids go to ALHS. So two stars, bad, do not recommend. There are better schools nearby.
