Summary

Alexander II Magnet School is an elementary school in Macon, GA, serving 465 students in grades PK through 5 within the Bibb County School District. This school stands out as a high achiever in a district that overall ranks in the bottom quintile statewide, consistently outperforming its neighbors by wide margins.

Alexander II's academic performance is its most striking feature. In 3rd grade math, for example, 54.7% of students met proficiency standards—nearly double the district average of 31.1% and above the state average of 48.3%. The contrast with nearby schools is dramatic: Williams Elementary School, less than a mile away, posted just 17% proficiency in the same subject. The school also excels in attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate of 10.7%—less than half the district rate of 27.5% and well below the state average. This strong attendance, combined with a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.4:1, creates a stable learning environment. The school also serves its African American students exceptionally well, ranking in the 78th percentile statewide for that subgroup.

It's worth noting that Alexander II's overall state ranking dipped from the 79th percentile in 2024-2025 to the 57th percentile in 2025-2026, driven largely by a significant drop in 5th grade science proficiency (from 66.7% to 34.8%). However, the school's decade-long track record of strong performance—earning 4-star ratings in 8 of the last 10 years—suggests this may be a temporary setback rather than a trend. The school also achieves these results efficiently, spending $15,641 per student, which is less than most nearby schools that produce far weaker outcomes. For families in Macon, Alexander II remains a clear standout, offering a rigorous education and a committed school community in an area where such options are rare.

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
