AES is a great school. My children attended there until 2007, when we moved out of state. The teachers were very helpful towards my child's special needs. The principal, contrary to what I've read here, is a very good lady, and takes her job seriously. She really has a heart for the children and the

My daughter started Kindergarten at AES this year and I could not be happier! I love her teacher, the principal, and the school overall.

My daughter is in the first grade at AES and we have been very impressed with her education. Her teachers have been wonderful and have (K and 1st) challenged, nurtured and helped her build her social skills. They have been very involved and informative with me. Unfortunately I do have to agree that

The YMCA After care program is also awesome at AES! It provides a fun, safe and affordable alternative for working parents where the children are comfortable, happy and get help with their homework.

Having 3 kids who are or have attended Alexandria I have been very pleased with all their teachers. The problems I have with AES is the principal and the Accelerated Reading program. Before starting this program my children loved to read! Now I can't make them read. They are told they have to have a

So the kids are reading below their level most of the time just to get points and be rewarded with cheesy little toys and the principal gets high marks with the system because 'her' school has high points. Do get me wrong I am all for reading but not forceful reading. I think a principal who supports her teachers, this one does not. As long as she looks good that is all that matters. I think a change is very much needed at AES. Read less

Alexandria Elementary is a wonderful school overall. Both of my children attend this school and they are getting a well-rounded education there. The only drawback that I can see is that the principal is not the best. If the vice-principal was in charge the school would be much better for it.

Both my children benefited from being in k-4 at Alexandria. The teachers are extended moms and care for the childs education, welfare, and happiness. Teachers at this school prepare your child for the next year. They are not babysitters.
