Alden High School has Block Scheduling. I would like to see this changed. It was hard for me to remember things taught the year before as there is a gap in courses due to the block scheduling. I did not like it and it effected my English regents. Its a small school so limited on sports offered and clubs that I could join. Also with the block scheduling I received very little homework which was not helpful because I did not learn time management or how to study for tests.

Alden Senior High School may be a small school, but the teachers and staff truly care about their students. They put students first and throughout the entire pandemic, they have worked hard to ensure that students are still getting an education without pushing unbearable deadlines.

School leadership is inept. Teachers and Team Coaches should be building fine young men and women - not trying to be cool or friends with students. Closing bathrooms due to vaping is not a solution. Control the vaping in school.
