I felt compelled to write a review about this school after reading some of the reviews already published. I graduated from this highschool a few years ago feeling very lost. Everything about this school was discouraging. The classes are boring and repetitive. The number of sports and extracurricular activities are extremely limited. Socially, Alexander is a very repressive school. Sexism from students and teachers is commonplace and the poor are judged openly here. The drug problem at the highschool is well known and the schools way of dealing with the drug problem is even worse. They often punish the drug addicted students with school suspensions and turning them in to the police, which only makes the students feel even more isolated and alone. I cannot support a school that uses negative reinforcement with children. After I graduated from Alexander, I attended Ohio University. I saw my fellow classmates drop like flies during their freshmen year until only a few went on the graduate. I had a few wonderful teachers here but the memories of Alexander have made me want to homeschool my own children.

I recently graduated from Alexander, and the only thing I gained from my experience was trauma. While I had some truly wonderful and dedicated teachers, they are in the minority. Racism is rampant - Alex is not a safe space for anyone with a minority identity. Alexander is a school steeped with deep poverty and inequality issues. The administration is stagnant on any kind of growth or reform. I and many of my fellow students experienced complete botching of sexual assault investigations, particularly from the principal, Lee Raines. The school does very little to prevent dropout, many kids are functionally homeless (and the school doesn't have the resources to support them). All in all, don't send your kid here unless you have no other choice. And if you do, be an active parent. Advocate for your kid, and pay attention to what goes on at school.
