Alexander II is a math and science magnet school for grades pre-k-5th. Alex II seeks to stretch the imagination, intellect, and leadership of its students while developing the moral characteristics that impart identity and purpose with the help of PBIS, STEM, and Leader in Me, we strive to be the best. I am a teacher there, and I could not imagine myself any place else. The staff and parents are always willing to go above and beyond to help our students succeed. Close Quote

Worst school experience ever!!! We wish we've never attended this school. Some of the teachers there are lacking professional skills and shouldn't be working in the field at all! Only our parents' effort didn't let them to destroy our child's love for learning and trust in people! Close Quote
