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 overall experience with Alexander High School, for the most part, was great. I was able to make some lifelong friends there. When I first moved to Douglasville, I didn't want to go to Alexander, but I'm very glad I did. The school had its ups and downs, but I wouldn't trade my experience for the world.

Alexander High School is a rather large school, which makes it easy for struggling students to go unnoticed and fall through the cracks. It isn't a terrible school, and there are some places to reside if you aren't keen on social scenes, especially during lunch. The library is available to eat lunch in (only if you bring your own), and it's quiet and less bustling.

Loved all 4 years. Played sports and loved the support from all teachers and students. They work hard to make sure you stay on task and get the best grades possible. The counselors are top knotch at keeping you on track for graduation and guiding you along the way. They make the school.
