It is not the qualifications of the recommended that a school is looking for, it is all about what the person can say about you. And no college wants to hear more than a line about elementary school (and probably not that much) so the recommendation would basically be limited to your sophomore year class. Don’t pick a teacher just because he/she is an alum – ask the teacher who can impart the most information about your current ability as a student, a person etc.
