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.

My experience at Alexandria Area High School has been great, like many high school students I am unsure of what my future career path will be, but AAHS has helped me narrow down my choices. There is a wide variety of classes and academies to choose from. I am involved in different clubs, and overall my experience at AAHS has benefitted me in ways that will help me far into the future.

The high school is great, it has great teachers and is a great facility. The district is in constant communication with the parents The food is probably the biggest complaint as it has gone down since Covid

AAHS is a nice school that the hicks don't deserve. The drama department is unmatched... soon to be discontinued. Orchestra teacher is a ped0.
