I would say my overall experience at Albert Lea Senior High School was pretty good. I started my first couple years here during covid and did not have a normal school year until my sophomore year. I have learned what I have needed to and have been supported by wonderful staff members here. Overall I would say my experience was pretty good.

The teachers and staff here all try and make sure you are included and involved with all activities. A lot of the teachers like to have fun with their teaching and really make it a good experience learning.

Pretty okay. Average American High School. Teachers were usually pretty nice. Food wasn't great. Not very many AP / College classes available.

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.
