Alameda Community Learning Center

I graduated from this school, so I’m completely biased. I’ll try to be honest though:
The great thing about this school is the free periods. It definitely teaches time management skills if your kid wants to go to college. The teachers are very unique, helpful, and approachable. The school also requires that you take ONE college class at a community college to have some college experience (and credits to transfer).
The school also encourages the use of computers for education.
However…
ALCL lacks classrooms. There’s a main building, that’s basically a huge room divided up into smaller rooms and 2 – 3 portables. Did I mention it’s also inside another high school (Encinell High)?? It’s incredibly loud and chaotic so if your kid has ADD…
There are limited classes, I’m not even sure if there’s an art class anymore and if you want to learn a language you have to take it at Encinell.
This school is definitely different and if you think your child can handle it then try it out ;3
