i think that alpha school is okay!! because the teachers help you with your work more than a teacher would at regular school, and also would get you on the right track for when you go back to regular school. Its pretty out standing to me because i never really had a teacher who would help me out with my work and let me stay after class and make up my assingments and i think that is big help so thanks,Mrs.Chester,Mrs.Edwards,Ms.CLark,Mr.Hobson,Mrs.Harvey,Mr.Young,Mr.brown,and Mr.Bridges

Alpha Academy is Rockdale County's Last chance for expelled students. For those students sentenced to com here, do not panic. Though Alternative schools have a bad reputation, Alpha is a fine school. The staff is certified, and curteous to the students. The security is better than any other Rockdale County Schools, and the Rockdale County DJJ's probation officers are almost constantly there to insure that the students are acting correctly. The class sizes range from three to ten, and there is a teacher ratio of about 1:4. The administration takes an active roll in the student's well-being, and issues are usually resolved before they get out of hand. The teachers use a unique approach that is more hands on than the traditional teaching method.The uniforms are a pricey (55$ per alpha shirt) but usually you can get by with a shirt that is khaki colored. Jeans are prohibited but khaki, or khaki cargo pants are allowed. If you are expelled from Rockdale County Public Schools, you could not ask for a better place to learn.

"They have a newly built building which is absolutely gorgeous and very well laid out. In general the staff is caring, but firm. Only bad thing is that parent involvement is not encouraged. Yet!!"
