My senior year at Albany Highschool in louisiana has been inefficient to say the least. The administators have hired multiple teachers unqualified to teach subjects. For example, I have my dual enrollment statistics class where they hired a teacher who knew nothing about statistics and told us to use ai. The staff in the office are unprofessional and unsympathetic, they have no skill in how to deal with overwhelmed kids when they come to them with academical issues. I’m speaking this all for the 2021- 2025 school year by the way. This has been happening since my freshmen year.I hope it will get better. The nurse is nice. The counselor is nice however at times there’s people just sitting in his office while people are talking to him. We should fix that for privacy reasons. If you care about learning and education I would not bring your child to albany this school year. There needs to be drastic changes here.

As a parent, I have been satisfied with Albany High. The students work hard, they support their school, extracurricular activities abound, and are encouraged and pushed by an equally supportive staff. #GeauxHornetNation!

I graduated from AHS several years ago and believe it is a great institution of learning, if effort is put forth. Just like any other school, the teachers cannot force the students to learn, 50% of the responsibility for learning relies on the students eagerness to learn. I put forth effort, was popular and well liked, and I graduated top of my class. I went on to graduate from LSU with my bachelors degree and am now an executive for a corporation. Ignore the negative comments, those people just did not put forth the effort, and are trying to blame everyone for their shortcomings.

I graduated from Albany about 9 years ago. Its a popularity contest. I was popular but Im grown now so I can see how horrible Albany was. Take my word on what im saying because im stating what I know for a fact. If a student is not into sports(cheerleading included) then they are on their own. Out of all the different classes I had I can count on one hand of the teachers that actually "TAUGHT". All the other teachers put notes on the board or overhead that you have to copy then take a test on the notes at the end of the week. This school is about politics. Its all about who you know or who you are. If you don't know anyone then your in trouble. And yes they are too strict about the uniforms. If they would care more about teaching and the academics then they would have a much higher average on how many students that would attend college and succeed. When I graduated it was maybe 5-6 students that went to college and succeeded. Well its more than 5 or 6 if you count going to beauty school.
