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 High School is not a bad school. There's definitely better schools out there, but compared to the other schools in Douglas County, Alexander is one of the best. The diversity has definitely been improving and academic opportunities have been growing as well. Sports is not one of this school's greatest areas, but it has many opportunities for a wide variety of students.
