New Albany High School

Posted November 3, 2009

New Albany schools were brought into the 21st century by Dr. Ralph Johnson and Dr. Gary Sweitzer by providing all students with a well developed, comprehensive curriculum, learning environment and teachers who excel in their fields. Their mantra is that all students count. Expectations of New Albany Schools is to provide a superior education and they do this everyday.

Current high school senior at New Albany High School. Beyond the towering brick build buildings, and the highly eductaed, 'over paid' teachers, there is a school that is not as good as it may seem. Here are the positives. The school is beautiful, a very campus like feel. Its very safe. The lunches are very well put together. And overall, there hardly is any fighting ever. However, this school isnt perfect. The problem with New Albany is they throw so many facts out at you to make you believe its and unbelievable high school. They try to create this impecable reputation, however they fail to address the small things, because the staff is incapable of accepting it, and they ignore it. The seperation in this school is pathetic. Its like a car show in the student parking lot. Its all about who has what in this school. Andifyoudonthavethat, yullbe left out.

I rated NAHS above average due to the facilities and opportunities offered for a small high school. The curriculum could be more challenging for those students that don't wish (or can't due to scheduling conflicts) take the AP or Honors courses. The regular classes are not challenging enough. I would like to see more curriculum options especially in Foreign Language. This is a great school for Central Ohio, but there are much better high schools with more opportunities nationwide. The district administration does not seem to realize that our kids are competing with kids from other states and not just within Central Ohio. The claim that all students belong to a club is a joke since most of the clubs do not serve any purpose...there was a gaming club where they played Guitar Hero! There are not many opportunities for leadership roles outside of the few students in student government.

I am stunned by some of the reviews here. We recently moved to this area from a tiny town in another state and I've been amazed by the one on one help my daughter has received. She has struggled with the adjustment and the school has made every effort to get her the extra academic help she needs in order to excel. They have remained in contact with me on where she is going wrong and arranged for her study hall to be more focused in order to assist her in catching up and adjust to the way this school teaches it's students. They have had patience and understanding and for a family stressed in these economic times, it's been a godsend. Last, the opportunities they offer at this school are outstanding. We are not a wealthy family, however she has fit in with the other kids with no issues.
