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.

Alcovy is a very diverse school, it really tries to be a fun place and I really like that about the school. I would like to see more involvement with the students because everyone acts if their too good for any of the school activities, other than that the school is real cool.

Overall my experience at Alcovy High School is, mainly the school is a nice place and you can make nice and helpful friends. But most of the time the school is very unhelpful when it comes to figuring out things to know and it being a very large school newer students can get lost.

I personally don't go to Alcovy High School, I go to Newton College and Career Academy. The experience I do have is the teachers. Like every other school, there are good and bad teachers. I've had some amazing teachers and bad experiences with other teachers. This school isn't the best but isn't the worst. I do prefer going to Newton College and Career Academy.

I hate this school so much. The strictness of the rules, the lack of discipline and most teachers dont even care about their job, we have barely any freedom and what freedom we do have is limited to about 10 minutes a day. The food is terrible, we dont get spoons at lunch and the "fresh" food has ob...
