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 High School is an okay school. They are nasty and rarely clean. There is never any paper towels or toilet paper. But they do have many cool organizations and sports. They also give out chick fil a biscuits.

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.

The food is terrible, we dont get spoons at lunch and the "fresh" food has ob...
