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.

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.

Alexander Early college is a small school with less than 40 people in my graduating class. At first I didn't really enjoy it because I felt like I made a mistake by picking the early college over the county high school. As I kept growing more comfortable with the school I started to love it. I got out of yy comfort zone and learned to appreciate the chance this school has given me. I have gotten to know everyone in each grade because of how small the school is. I also get to graduate with an associate's degree. Although it was more stressful and difficult at first I finally knew that I fit in.

I love the teachers and the community that has been created! I am glad that I can be the legacy class for this amazing high school! They have done a lot for the class of 2020 and I can't wait to see what they can come up with next. I have a lot of fun memories made while being at this high school. There are a lot of great staff members that care a lot about the students and want to make sure that we can pursue our dreams and career. I hope that other students are able to experience the same kind of experience that I have had and I hope that they are able to add more staff members throughout the process. We are still a new school and I am going to be the first class to be graduating from this high school. Lastly, I don't think that I would ever want to change anything.

I go here and it has been the best school I've ever attended. The teachers actually care about you, you are given respect as a fellow human being, plus we have 408 Dr. Pepper ;). While the workload can get heavy at times, if you use the study hall time and just manage your time wisely, you should be...
