Algonac jr Sr highschool is a great place, although small it allows everyone to know one another. The teachers are always nice and dedicated to teaching which I'm grateful for. The lunch ladies are also sweet and the food pretty good. The people for the most part are kind to. The clubs are ok I wish there were more options for extracurricular activities and more art programs.

The best parts of Algonac High were how small the school. Everybody knows everyone. This allows for a tighter nit community while also still being able to communicate with the teachers. The worst part can be with them adding so many new rules 2023-2024. Instead of treating high schoolers like high schoolers we are treated as elementary schoolers. I get why for the younger grades, but seniors shouldn't be.

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...
