Alonso high school is a great school! The only hope is for staff to be more motivated to take part in supporting students initiatives as most get rejected.

It's a great High School. I am currently in the IB Diploma Program and the experience has been great. They offer the option to take multiple AP courses and the teachers here do the best in their ability to help the students pass their exams.

The best part about Alonso Highschool is being able to take higher level classes, join clubs and sports teams. But some of facility aren't the kindest and some of the school policies are restrictive. The school culture with how kids act can also get annoying but that can be seen as a different issue. Overall Alonso is a decent school.
