My overall experience that Alexander was exceptional there were a lot of great teachers, but also not so many great students. There were a lot of altercations multiple codes. Overall, it was a really good school just needs a little bit more work.

Alexander was a good school considering the clubs and extracurriculars. Though the teams are not good, they seem like a good program. Academics are not the finest but seem to be manageable with the AP classes and dual enrollment option. The teachers are lacking and the administrators are lower. Facility is mostly old with no service in the A building. Not a lot of personal college readiness.
