Before I moved here I was in algebra 1 and learning about complex factorization but now I'm learning about slopes. Its like I went from advanced 8th grade math (9th grade algebra) to 7th grade. This school is terrible academic wise and is in need of upgrade, the teachers are really slow, except some of them.

It is the worst school in Alexandria, with tons of fights and tons of gang activity too many kids pretending to be gangsters and sagging their pants which leads to a ton of bullying. My son doesn't even want to go to school anymore.0/10 Chose a different middle school

This school's only problems is the environment of the students and some not so great teachers. I was lucky to have some great teachers to learn by, but there would be so many fights nearly every month. And that affected everyone by having them not feel safe or dealing with a consequence. Of course e...
