3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageTerrible school!! Please do your research before enrolling in this High School! Terrible teaching, very Unsafe environment and careless administration!!

1/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy experience at William Ramsay has been phenomenal! It is truly unfortunate that the rating on greatschools.com is a 1 out of a 10 because that is definitely not a true reflection of the character of the school. Initially, I had hesitations when I first read the reviews online to have my son attend William Ramsay, however; after personal experience with not only the teachers, but also the office staff, the principal, the school nurse and other faculty and staff members, I have nothing but positive feedback for the school! I highly encourage other parents to take the time to write their own experience with the school to aid in turning this negative rating around!Thank you to all the staff at William Ramsay for upholding the No Child Left Behind model! The role of a teacher and any other school staff member can be very challenging and I genuinely appreciate what you all do because the salary you are compendated with will never be a true reflection of how much you should truly earn! My personal sentiment is that you all are very much underpaid! Folks, please take the time to appreciate the people that are taking care of your children during school hours because it can be very challenging to manage a class of 15 plus students at one time. Teachers and school staff members are the epitome of patience, hats off to you all!!!Parent Review5y ago - Francis C Hammond Middle

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAlexandria schools are bad. My son is LGBTQ and he likes it, but also knows it’s a really bad school. All the schools in Alexandria are overwhelmed with low income students whose parents have to work 2 jobs and can’t truly raise them or the other type who don’t work at all and get the government and taxpayers like us to pay for everything. Either way, the kids suffer. There are success stories. Plenty! But, if you think your kid may be subject to bullying or homophobia, transphobia, outcast, or you believe they truly have what it takes to graduate from college. Alexandria is a bad choice. The housing here is cheap. Private schools are double the national average for a reason. I work for a nonprofit and I do care about all people. Don’t make your kids go to Alexandria public schools because you don’t want to drive 30-45 minutes to work. Your kids need to come firstParent Review1mo ago

"The area was good but now it is heavily infected with huge mice. If you walk in the evening or night you will see mice in corners. I am scared to even drop trash at night. The situation on my street, Sheffield, is so bad that mice have gotten into dry walls and heat vents and at night you can hear mice crawling and scratching. Management need to do something soon otherwise the area will be unlivable. Mgmt is improving the external image of the apartments with new paints, playground, etc but not doing anything about mice. You can call for tech and they’ll come and leave sticky mouse catchers but the mice in the area are big and are avoiding eating pills or walking on traps. The rent keeps going up but no improvements for the current residents. On top of that, they are adding indoor washer and dryers. No one wants it! Not only will it make the apts even smaller but you will continue to pay the same rent for square space. Horrible! "
