It's good school but it's in the county so it has no money. We have to beg for things to be upgraded and we have to do a lot fundraising.

I like that at alcorn central all the teachers are willing to help you anyway they can. Many people bring down the central name about how theres not many opportunities. That is not my case you can get as many opportunities as you look for and put effort into. Although these opportunities might not be handed to us like others that are more fortunate. The only thing I can day I would like to see improved is that there be even more opportunities for the students put in place.

I would choose this school all over again. The teachers are there to help you when you need it. The principle is always there when you need someone to talk to. The whole first week of school he has everyone come to the gym. While we are there he talks for a couple of minutes. Some of the teachers prepare little dances to get everybody motivated. The school has a very positive atmosphere. I wish I could go back and do it all over again.
