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.

I have had a good experience this four years of high school. All the teachers I had, have been always nices and respectful to me and to my classmates. I play sports and the school has really good facilities although they care more for American futbol than any other sport. Even though theirs things I think they can improve, Alma high school has been a good experience academically and socially.
