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.

Widespread bullying with the administrators siding with the bullies and humiliating the weaker students. Didn't follow any guidelines for reporting student injuries to the family or taking appropriate follow up action. The administration with Cynthia Martinez is deplorable and the teachers are plain...

The year we had at Alpha was a good one. There was a dedicated team of administrators, an amazing 8th grade teacher (I believe she's left to raise her baby but I heard good things about the 7th grade teachers too), and the most unique PE program I've had the privilege of witnessing. Thank you Alpha!
