Bad teachers
This is a very good school but some educators tend to be on their cellphones during work hours instead of teaching the syllabus given to them, I am tired as a parent having my child come back from school everyday complaining about the same teacher. Ms Gwala can do better with the hiring of her staff.

Grade 8 admission
Very incompetent Principal i have ever seen with low self esteem and modelling instead of helping Parents with their grade 8 Learners admission. Was asked to wait for 10 days for submission and it's now 15 days without feedback. You are making that school very weak and deserve a demotion. Reasons we opt for private school

Allen Glen high School principal
Today I met with the principal of Allen Glen high School and she was not a pleasant person. Her manner of approach to the matter we discussed was disrespectful, she was shouting and passings remarks that she gets annoyed by parents who do not listen to her. She addressed me with disrespect like I am a minor. All this ensued while we were at the reception area filled with people.

The principal lacks morals and is very rude
The principal is very rude She didn’t even pay attention to us at the school meeting and she was very disrespectful are we paying school fees for such ? The department really needs to up their game and get relevant people who are able to communicate and lead our children

Disappointing
This used to be a good school. It all stems from the Head...change the Head, get more kids involved in sports, this can potentially combat smoking and cyber bullying clean the school, fix the lockers, bring back ibooks, make the children proud again to be part of this school.

Grade 08 valentine's magazine- What a delight!
I am thrilled to share my positive review about Mrs. Phillips and the RCL Executive's initiative to create a Valentine's Magazine in collaboration with the Grade 8 students. This project not only brought joy and excitement but also fostered a sense of connection and love between the learners. Firstly, I commend Mrs. Phillips for her outstanding leadership and guidance throughout the entire process. Her dedication and organization ensured that everything ran smoothly and efficiently. Her passion...

Class clown ^^
It's my first year at Allen Glen highschool and IM LOVING the school. Most of the teachers are supportive,caring and encouraging. But there is is one teacher,who is racist,rude and intolerant. BUT apart from that I HIGHLY recommend the school.

great child
Allen Glen is one of the best school. if your not in the school why you talking cause you don't know what goes in there . Yes some children fall pregnant ,smoke but go to any highschool and you get a group doing that . you can't give a bad review about alen Glen from the things you have heard . they are teachers who care infact all the teachers care. yes the bathrooms may be dirty but that's because of all the kids who smoke . you can't blame the school for the children's actions . yeah most people become pregnant and that's because of they bad examples other places . what you teach your child at home is how they come and represent your family at school if you don't go to allen Glen Don't bad mouth it.allen Glen teachers know how to handle themselves and the learners.

Not too good
Consumer studies classrooms are not fixed for the past year ,some children still don’t have teachers, teachers work at a slow pace ,principal even teaches because their aren’t a lot of teachers available.Bathrooms look disgusting , there was a fundraiser made for the bathrooms to be redone but nothing has been done.

There is no equality
They did not pay attention to the other grades they only paid attention to the grade 12's Which was not fair at all

Not a good school at all
The school is the best but then there’s this one racist teacher,she’s white and she’s the worst.The kids there are the worst,they are so naughty and almost everyone sleeps with one another and smokes weed.When you are new,everyone will pressure you to do bad things and you will only notice later on how much of a mess you are.

Don't waste your salary at this school.
In 2019, December one of the consumer classroom rooves fell in and nothing was done about it... Fine as the year progresses and during covid even more damage was done and still nothing was done. When the time arrived for us to return to school most learners we left to fend for themselves with no classes to be taught in, we had no teachers to teach us and had to self study most of the work. When we ask for help we were denied and deprived of our right to a quality education. The teachers that do come to school are pathetic and rude to most learners. They demand respect with force, rude remarks, and they make us feel like we are worth nothing. The principal is nowhere to be seen and does not do her job. Since I've been in Allen Glen I don't think I've been with a teacher that actually cares about the learners and their lives. Oh and the entire building is now closed because it's unstable and not safe for students. I doubt it would be fixed when we get back next year.

My forever family
The school has passionate teachers and a warm and friendly environment. Having been to the school for 5 years I am truly walking out stronger than I came in. The way the school dealt with the covid 19 predicament was exceptional and highlights the schools great operating and discipline system. Teach your child to be wise and Allen Glen will be the best place for them. "If you want to be real cool don't forget the golden rule. Do as you would be done by. Look your friend right in the eye."
