Alvin is a good school. It is not the best for academics but it does provide students with lots of help when it comes to needing it. Most staff are kind and respectful with an exception of a handful.

Alvin High School is a moderate school, there are good things and bad things about it. The cleanliness of the school is good considering the students attending and the understandingness of facility members is mostly good. Their education system, safety within the school, and sports teams could be better. Fixing those problems could be more beneficial but at the current status, the school is doing well.

My experience overall at Alvin high school was a great experience. I am glad to be a part of the yellow jackets. I hope that the future students will also have a great experience. What I would like to see change is being more involved with kids education.

I have two children graduate from Alvin High School. Both of them completed several of the excellent AP courses offered there, so I'm talking about the "smart kid" track. The oldest received a significant scholarship to the University of Texas at Dallas (not a bad school) and was well prepared for c...
