My time at Alhambra High School for all of my high school experience has be overall good. I don't have anything bad to say about the school nor anything bad. The school is just overall average. Their school community they have been building over the years is coming together good. A very welcoming and friendly environment most of the time. The sports teams aren't very goo as in we didn't win much. I have been in the volleyball program since my freshmen years and I kept joining it not because of how much we won, which wasn't a lot, but I joined because of the amazing and fun atmosphere they have created. This goes as well for their softball program. Lastly, for the teachers, the ones i have right now and in the past are all very understanding and reasonable. I have nothing bad to say about the educators, they are all very nice people that have a passion for teaching and helping their students. This goes for the administration as well. Very caring and understandable. I enjoyed my time.

Overall needs more attention on whole school activities/learning rather then all in one "boat" This school definitely needs improvement on teachers teaching, awareness on kids involvement and attention to your arts department.

It's pretty good, it's a public school. A lot of diversity and you will feel included if you add yourself to a crowd.

This school was a top academic school in 1963 through about the early '90's. Now it has barbed-wire on the fence tops and low college prep capability. Says a lot about how the demographics changed. Truly sad!
