Lucia

Background

  • Student at Alpha School, Austin.
  • Attended Alpha Middle School previously.

Perspectives & Insights

  • Contrasted current Alpha structure with previous iterations, noting more academic structure (multiple apps per subject) and cohorts in middle school.
  • Expressed that focusing only on AP exams might diminish broader knowledge.
  • Observed that many older students left Alpha because they disliked the structure, even while benefiting from it.
  • Has reservations about being filmed for a reality show, concerned about how Alpha is perceived externally and how that perception might affect how people view her individually. Prefers honesty but values her reputation.
  • Navigational skills are humorously questioned (gets lost).

Interactions
