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.

Alexander Early College is a great school, however, students do not have access to many resources other high schools have, mostly due to the relatively small size of the campus and population.

Alexander Early College is a school with great opportunity. At this school, you take both college and high school honors classes. Unfortunately, this school does not have many activities to promote school spirit.

I like how much our teachers here care about students and learning. For such a rural place, our school is very diverse. It's nice to see people of different races, religions, etc. respecting each other and getting along. Because it is a smaller school, everyone here seems to know each other. One thing that I really enjoy is study hall because we have plenty of time to get our work done before we get home. Since it's a new school, we don't have a lot of our own things. The one thing I would like to see changed is our building. We don't have a bad building but it would be nice to have our own. I've really enjoyed my time here so far and would recommend this school to anyone who might be interested.

While the workload can get heavy at times, if you use the study hall time and just manage your time wisely, you should be...
