I think that the teachers at Alexandria are wonder, and very good teachers. They work with all of the students until the understand. All of the teachers that my son has ever had have been great. He has exceled way past his grade level in learning, and he enjoys going to school everyday.
My son has special needs and they go above and beyond to help him fit in and not feel singled out. Thanks to the many wonderful teachers there he is in 4th grade reading at an 8th grade level! He has been provided a spectacular sign language teacher to assist him. She includes everyone in the class to make Jake feel like just one of the kids. Outstanding!
I have two daughters, both attended Alexandria from start to finish. Now, one of them has a son attending AES. He is in the 4th grade and has had four outstanding teachers. We are very proud of this school.
Alexandria has really impressed me. The saftey percautions the take are amazing and from what I understand are the strictest in the county. Wouuld not want my child going any where else!
Best school in the county!!!!!!
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 parents. Overall I would recommend AES to anyone moving to the area.
My daughter started Kindergarten at AES this year and I could not be happier! I love her teacher, the principal, and the school overall. She has learned to read in the 5 months she has been there, she even read a book to the class. I have lunch with her at least once a week and have been pleased with everything I have seen and heard at this school! I have to give this school 5 stars!
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 principal leaves alot to be desired. She has never spoken to me (even when directly spoken too) and does put alot of stress on the 'numbers.' 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.
I think that it is great!
Alexandria is a great school. My daughter started Kindergarten in 2001 and they stressed parent involvement. Now it is very hard to be able to be involved, they only allow a certain number of chaperones on field trips and when you ask to come to a Christmas party or something like that they say that they are not sure if parents can come. How can you stress parent involvement, but not allow the parents to be? Overall it is a good school.
