J M Alexander Middle School

The school had some problems the year before I cam. I am a formal Davidson IB student. It's no longer overcrowded however I find the mass is punished for the few a common problem. The school is just ok but I think the principal Dr. Karney will help

i am a student a this school and i believe that this school is old and run-down teachers are way better than the school. i also believe that they should tear it down and build another one. Some people don't know that the year of 2011-2012 Davidson IB will be moving into there so more students=less teachers and less teachers means less supervision so i believe this isn't the best school.

I use to go to that school and it is alittle bad every now and then, but it`s alright

I think this school is very over crowded with kids and there's not that many teachers to provide supervision.

My son started developing behavioral problems this year, and I have gone to Alexander to sit through classes with him and observe the environment. That place is a circus! You cannot even hear the teachers when they are trying to teach and much of the class time is spent trying to discipline students. The students talk through class and ignore the rules. I am getting my son out of this school as soon as possible.

At lunch students sit at the same table everyday, not allowing them to mingle w/other kids in the school. If you child is bright and knows how to pick friends, this can be a good place for them.

This school is definitley something to write about, i mean c'mon. I go here it is beyond ridiculous. The classes are noisy and completely out of order! Some of the teachers are too busy screaming and then the rest could honestly care less about the us succeeding. The administrators are way too focused on suspending students, more so that it's at the point where the smallest thing could send your child out of school. They claim to be enforcing discipline but in all reality, this hurts the student's fair shot at an education; if they're even getting a fair one at this school! The lunch is ridiculously over-priced; you may as well bring your child to the local McDonalds. And that's what's real.
