GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Alexandria Senior High has been a joy to me and many of my classmates. The opportunities are endless and the preparation has helped to bring me out of my comfort zone. My social skills have gradually became better over the years. The teachers at Alexandria Senior High have been nothing short of amazing.

The best parts of Alexandria Senior High School (ASH) are definitely the college readiness and the school culture. The school has wonderful traditions and an encouraging environment. The worst parts are probably how overcrowded the school is, but that's just because ASH is the best option for Rapides Parish. I would like to see faster communication from the school.

I think the best part of my High School is the math and Science teachers. They are probably some of the best and even while preparing us for college they aren't putting us through certain things we don't understand without properly explaining like most teachers tend to.

I would like to see the school improve on preparing the students for college. ASH can offer the student college prep courses or allow state-wide colleges to come in for "College Fair" to get the students expose to different colleges. Outside state colleges should also be notified of "College Fair"....
