Wow, Alhambra is the best most impressive school my son has ever been to, Bartholomew the 3rd. There is NO racism, NO homophobia, NO bullying, NO sexism, and especially NO ASSAULT happening on campus. All the teachers have been to Harvard or any other high class collage you can think of. My son has ALL straight A's and his teachers always praise his abilities but he knows he couldn't do it without them. There is no fights at Alhambra and it feels like heaven on earth.

Alhambra is a great school. There isn't trouble unless you go looking for it. The lunch is horrible though, the pizza tastes like glue... However there many great teachers on campus (I'll admit a handful of not so great ones), and everyone is very welcoming. This is easily the best school in the area. Although sometimes teachers and ASB go overboard with school pride, there are many opportunities for leadership, sports (we aren't really a "sports" school) and there are clubs galore. It is a rather large school though, with upwards of 3,000 students, however if you need help, counselors are sure you will get it.

Alhambra high school is a great school! My daughter just finished her sophomore year and is excelling in her classes and has always been able to get in AP classes and honor classes with no problems. School is beautiful & teachers are wonderful. Some more helpful than others but no school is perfect. CST are high and Alhambra high school has a great rating. I went to Alhambra myself in the late 80's when the school wasn't rated well. The school district has really but a lot of work into building Alhambra into the school it is! today !
