Uhm well its is a bunch of fights here, assistant principals think your lying when your not. Good friends , you probably will get bullied idek. Th special kids, i feel are okay not 100% though. Their Teachers yell and or fuss at them.

I agree with some of the previous comments. I am leaving this comment in the hopes that someone will get the message. This school could be better. Alexander has a lot to work on. My child is in the 4th grade and has been there for three years and I am unimpressed. The teachers are great. The administrators need to be reorganized. The principal is a lot of the issue. I believe that parental concerns have been ignored. I believe that there is a lack of innovation on the part of the principal. I do like the Assistant Principal...But ultimately, the principal makes the decisions and she is inflexible and is getting a wake up with no PTA and no parental help. Parents inaction speaks volumes.

I have had 4 kids to graduate from Duncanville with the 5th being a senior this year. I have nothing but praise for the school. My disappointment lies with parents who fail to train their children at home and expect the school to do it for them. Despite this, I have had nothing but success. My kids have been accepted to major universities, scored very well on standardized tests and had a good school experience. I have seen their peers accept appointments to the Naval Academy, Penn, UT Austin and Texas A&M with all having graduated undergrad and moving on to grad school or working within their selected profession (nursing, education, ect..). The school has exceptional opportunities for students to learn and travel abroad. If the student is willing to put in the work, the sky is the limit. Teachers and administrators are top notch and very supportive of their students' goals. Make no mistake, the curriculum is not a cakewalk. As long as the student is willing to put in the work and parents are prepared to be engaged in the process you will find that the staff is right there with you every step of the way.

Not a bad school per se. My kid is in all AP classes and that's the only way I think she would have been challenged. The band program is decent however I think the parental engagement could use work. My daughter likes it here and any time there were any issues whether behavior or environmental, I was always communicated with. The teachers here don't just engage with parents when the kids do something wrong, I've also gotten communication on how well my kid is doing which ALWAYS feels good. For the parents or students who are having less than expected results from this school, I'd encourage you to look at the input you're contributing to. What can you do to improve your experience, it truly is a group effort. Teachers and administrators have a huge responsibility and job to fulfill but so do us as parents
