We would like to update parents and guardians on a social media post that has been misinterpreted across the nation. When we learned of this initial post that had a school named Southwest on it, we immediately contacted our school resource officers, Officer Huse & Officer Conn. Upon investigating, we were informed that there is an underperforming list of Georgia schools circling around Snapchat. The “targeted assistance” list included a school named Southwest Middle School that was to receive targeted academic supports. Unfortunately, the misinformation led to some putting this information on social media with the wrong information and context. At no point were Albert Lea Area Schools identified nor in danger. We will continue to make our students and staff our top priority by ensuring their safety. We value and appreciate the support from Albert Lea Police Department and Freeborn County Sheriff’s Office and will continue to partner with them to ensure the safety of students and staff members.
Thank you for your continued support of the Albert Lea Area Schools.
🚌✨Happy Bus Safety Day!✨🚌
Today we are celebrating the importance of keeping our kids safe on the road. Ask your child about the safety rules they learned when getting on and off the bus!


The 2024-2025 school year is off to a fantastic start! The weather was gorgeous, and the energy was high as we welcomed our amazing students back to campus. From excited smiles to new friendships, today was filled with joy, learning, and the promise of a great year ahead.
Thank you to our dedicated staff, enthusiastic students, bus drivers, and supportive families for making the first day unforgettable. A special thank you to the School Board members who were also present at the buildings to welcome back students! Here's to a year of growth, discovery, and success!
