Alpha: Cindy Avitia High

As a founding parent, i highly recommend ACAHS based on my experience is a great school where not only do they focus on academics but they prepare our students for college, As parents we have a voice on adminstration highly considers our concerns and make us feel part of the school.

Although it is a great school and all, one student carry the burden of all students. This school is not about teamwork as they use to be. Usually the smartest student have to do all the work so what is the point. Not only that many students may be doing bad things they are not suppose to be doing. So therefore the teacher can't really do anything about it.

My son started Alpha when it first established its middle school, Alpha Blanca Alvarado. I was nervous because my son had an IEP and I wanted him to not be overwhelm with the load of expectation and work needed to pass middle school. Together my son and I received a lot of support. With the excitement and how much I enjoyed alpha middle school, we enrolled without hesitation to Alpha Cindy Avitia.He continues to get all the help needed! Alpha high school is the only one that requires all students to take four years of Computer science. The students like my son, get all the support that they need! Of course it is up to us as parents to become involve in this future academic journey and process. Alpha continues to be an extended part of my family! As an active parent leader and founding parent, I make sure that my voice during board meeting is not just for my son, but for all of our existing, growing, and future children.If you've tried public schools (like I tried) and you feel like the "system" failed you and your child(ren), then you have an alternate choice of a high school.My son is motivated! He struggles with AP courses, but he gets help from peers and teachers, and most important the school culture is still like another family. We help one another.I could say a lot more, but my time is limited. I am a firm believer that one school doesn't fit all our children, as we who have more than one child know that each is unique! On the other hand, why not try alpha out? The staff is friendly, approachable, professional, and really care about what a parent and student need to prepare the students to achieve their upmost potential and not just graduate high school but to transfer to college and continue to achieve their goals.Remember to aim high, our children cannot do it alone! At Alpha, parents, students, staff, and our community matter. Together We Can Make Anything Possible!

I chose Alpha Cindy Avitia because this school is a smaller size to compare to other high-schools for my son. He was planning to go to a local high school, but I was worried because he got distracted too easy. After tried out a shadow day at Alpha, he would like to choose this school.When my son took placement tests here, his math and english were way under level. He got to put into targeted classes, got attention from assistant principal, principal, and teachers. After a year he improved alot, and feels more confident about himself. The students at Alpha are respectful and friendly to each other. I also like the school staffs who are very engaged to students and families. They offer English classes for parents too. I would like to give 5 stars if the school have better facilities same as other local schools.
