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 experiences on Alexandria City High School have been great and marvelous. All these years were the best years of my life I'm gonna say because I came from a country where I could not get something like security and facilities. The teachers and counselors have been fantastic I appreciate them for all his great effort, love, and availability towards each of the students. Alexandria City High is a very great school where they will always be with open arms for new students.

Alexandria City Highschool is a greatly diverse school that offers differentiating resources to students. They are one of the the only schools in Virginia that have a college and career center which is very useful for students and allows them to feel more prepared for college.

Though every school has its own battles, this school has many of its own including threats and a few terrible teachers that get away with it. Other than that it is a fantastic school.
