As someone who has attended Algonac schools for my entire academic career thus far and will be getting my diploma from Algonac, there's nothing that really stands out about it. The only reason you should consider this school is if it's close or if your student wants to wrestle or play baseball. There are good teachers here but not many and most of them are planning on leaving the district. We are better than Anchor Bay, though.

It was the same as most students, I was really driven to get good grades and was on the NHS for my last two years. I played in the marching and symphonic band all four years. I had a close group of friends and didn't get into trouble. Algonac was the best school, during my junior year I was going through a lot of family problems and the teachers were amazing a very understanding of it. Algonac really helped me succeed when I probably should've failed, they didn't let my grades get low and helped me understand all the homework I got behind in.

I would prefer it if we had a middle school. The 7th and 8th graders have low maturity levels and are often disturbing the environment for the high schoolers.

School genuinely cares about their students. Excellent curriculum that prepares them for college. They have all the necessary tools to do excellent work, each having their own Apple iPad. They hold antibullying rallies, anti-drug rallies reducing all these things from within their school. My son has...
