The teachers are very helpful in preparing you for high school. During my time at Albert Hill, I have made a lot of new friends. The students at Hill are very supportive and kind, they try to make you feel welcomed. The lunch at Albert Hill is great the lunch ladies make you feel welcomed by learning your name and just knowing you and what you want for lunch. There is a variety of food in the cafeteria, you can have as much as you desire.
