I really wish they had more classes in this school because there aren't a lot of AP class opportunities to take so hopefully with this scholarship I can save money.

This upcoming school year i will be a senior at Alpha Cindy Avitia High. I have been with Alpha Schools since 5th grade. I started at Alpha Jose Hernandez middle school and am now going into senior year at Alpha Cindy Avitia High. My overall experience with Alpha Cindy Avitia High is a 10/10 experience. Alpha Cindy really cares about all of their students academics and mental health. College is a big part and topic throughout high school and the Alpha staff and teachers really prepare you for your future and help you with what steps to take next. Going into my freshman year in high school was during lockdown in 2020. The pandemic really changed my mind and made me unmotivated to go to college. Then as i entered my sophomore year in person i took an avid class/course. This class really truly changed my perspective and opened my eyes to the college life. Overall Alpha Cindy Avitia High has impacted my life and made me more involved with my future and college decisions.

It's a decent school. Some issues at time but the staff is nice and classes are okay. The type of school you'd go to because you live close by.

The administration changed students' grades to meet its targets without the teacher's knowledge. Students referred to the office are just sent back to the classroom...

The principal told a student that one of the teachers is an "Imbecile." Then he once told a teacher, he's only here to pay his mortgage.

Tip: Look for another school. I'm so glad I took my child out of this school. There's a fight every week and when students report it. The Principal doesn't do anything. I'm pretty sure he's a white supremacists because he's always taking pictures of people in the parking lot for having music on. Jus...

this school is a complete joke. If you value yourself as a real educator and decent human being, DO NOT work here, you will regret it. If you value your children and their education DO NOT SEND them here, you will regret it.No real plan, no structure, un safe environment, lying admin, time wasting p...
