I personally love attending high school here, I think the teachers all really care about their job and are almost always available as a helping hand. As far as academics go, I think there really is an option for everyone do be able to find something they like within the four years of attendance here. I have not had many bad experiences here or really any to recount to claim as the "worst".

Graduated in 2022. Teachers were pretty great, especially for the AP courses. The clubs were alright, I was a more artistic kid and the art club ran only two session my senior year before it stopped. Lunches were free but terrible, they ended the contract with the providers though so maybe it's better now. Yeah pretty alright experience, prom was awesome. Just encourage your kids not to vape because it's so easy for your kids to get connected to a dealer for anything. I mean seriously way too easy.

Alan B Shepard School is a Great school it offers lots in academics and sports from dual credit courses to multiple AP courses, The school also has a lot of great teachers that are willing to teach and help students during their classes through email or on independent time overall Alan B Shepard is a great school to be part of.

Not a big fan. The school itself, in my opinion, is poorly designed. The colors (brown and orange) are also very unappealing, and painted all over. Insufficient restrooms. The hallways are extremely crowded, and students just tend to stand there, instead of going to class or let other people through...

I graduated from this school in 2007. I easily breezed by on sub par work. I managed to be in the top 10% of my class with minimal effort. Many teachers assigned "busy work" to avoid actualy having to teach, although many of the specifc teachers I am referring to have since retired. Even still, the...
